Highland Main Street

The Commercial Property Improvement Grant Program encourages property/business owners to renovate, restore, and improve buildings including both interior and exterior spaces. It is intended to provide financial assistance for significant improvements. The goal of the program is to encourage the growth of a vibrant and thriving retail climate within the Highland Redevelopment Area, as well as attract retail growth, additional business traffic and catalyze investment through improved aesthetics of aging commercial properties. By making noticeable enhancements within the Highland Redevelopment Area, the urban environment will improve and thereby impact the overall downtown revitalization efforts of the community. Grants will be awarded for up to 30% of the approved project improvements total. Projects over $15,000 will take priority, however, the Redevelopment Commission will review any and all projects regardless of the amount being requested.

Participating restaurants feature a special for $7 or less, so that visitors can “eat their way through downtown,” stopping at their usual haunts and discovering new favorites along the way. Several businesses will also be open late.
