Spark Downtown, whose mission is to ignite the revitalization of
downtowns in the Radius region, believes downtown is the heart and
soul of the community and one of the keys to attracting a vibrant
workforce. For this reason, Spark Downtown created a Downtown
Façade Loan Program to encourage revitalization of the downtown, to
stimulate additional private sector investment in the downtown and
surrounding area, and to help spur job creation. The program provides
loans to downtown property and business owners for the purpose of
funding permanent exterior improvements on commercial or mixed use
buildings.
