Project Details

Any business owner or building owner in the MainStreet district was eligible to apply for a microgrant to carry out an exterior, street-facing improvement project.

A selection committee met to evaluate the projects, looking for those that would make a visible and substantial improvement in the appearance of the exterior of the business/building.

Improvements must be visible from the sidewalk/street and may include upgrades such as paint, signage, lighting, landscaping, or any other building or site elements that would help enhance the appearance of downtown Truth or Consequences.

Grants were awarded in amounts from $200 to $1,200.

Grantees were required to provide at least a 1:2 cash match for the grant, though several contributed an additional amount.
