FINANCIAL INCENTIVES
PROGRAM GRANT APPLICATION 2015-08 – FAÇADE IMPROVEMENT AND RESTORATION
PROGRAM, 205 MAIN STREET SOUTH
The
owners have completed significant improvements to the interior of this
strategic building and have removed the unsightly metal cladding from the
façade’s top level. Excessive facade restoration costs have forced them to
focus on the lower level improvements at this time and leave upper level
improvements to a later date, with it remaining a painted white surface
until 2017. Current façade improvement costs exceed $50,000, and they are
seeking the maximum allowed under the grant program. They have been advised
they may be eligible for additional contributions under the façade program upon
the completion of a 12 month waiting period as per established policy.

FINANCIAL INCENTIVES
PROGRAM GRANT APPLICATION 2016-01 – PROJECT FEASIBILITY STUDY PROGRAM
(ADDITIONAL), 235 MAIN STREET SOUTH
The
owners of 235 Main Street (former Still in Style) have incurred additional
professional costs related to façade improvement elevation plans submitted
to the Town of Newmarket for approval. They are therefore requesting a
“top-up” to previously approved support under the Project Feasibility Study
Program. These plans will also be forwarded to the Lower Main Street
Heritage Conservation District committee for consideration and approval. It
is anticipated a request for NDDC funding under the Façade improvement
program will be forthcoming once these plans are endorsed. Of interest,
note that the Cedar Street elevation includes the addition of a deck
structure to allow restaurant patrons an opportunity to enjoy an outside
dining experience and view of Riverwalk Commons.
