Statement of Intent/Need for Funding:
We intend to use the funds to install siding for the first and second floor of the building (entire building). The building
was damaged from fire in 2019 and since then we have financed the entire project without a financial institution or
private money lenders, but from funds we make by liquidating our other assets and savings. We are at a point now
where we need financial support to complete the project. The facade grant will greatly help in reaching that goal;
allowing us to complete the project, and more importantly, give the neighborhood a beautifully refurbuished building to
look at and use.
Description of Project..Attach: Photos, Project Plans & 2 Competitive Bids:
Please see attached architectural drawings and quotes. We have selected EAS Contractors for
the work.

Our estimated start date is January of 2024 and estimated completion date is February 2024
By signing the grant application, if awarded, applicant commits to future property
maintenance and certifies the ability to fund the project to completion before grant funds
