Question about Mr. Newmans Building being a <br />contributing building ?. Cheri clarified that the big grant is for downtown buildings revitalization, to <br />incentivize business, bring to code. Reimbursement is given once work is completed <br />Jill Drake - worthy of consideration; however, an existing building that doesn't bring in a new tenant <br />or new business.
