Façade Renovation Grant

Give your business a face lift! Main Street Chillicothe’s Façade Renovation Grant is a matching grant program that helps restore character and charm to our historic buildings. Under this program, 50 percent of a façade renovation (up to $5,000) is reimbursed by the Chillicothe Development Corporation with the remaining 50 percent paid by the property owner. Several downtown businesses have already benefited from the program.

New and existing property owners and business tenants are encouraged to apply today.

Eligible projects include:

  • Exterior painting
  • Removing inappropriate or incompatible exterior finishes/materials
  • Restoring exterior finishes and materials
  • Recessing/reconfiguring of existing doors and entrances
