Business Façade Loans

Several changes have recently been implemented in the Village’s Façade Restoration Program.  This revolving loan program, which has been in existence since 2000, provides financial incentives to stimulate a visible reinvestment in any commercial business located within the Village.  The goal of the program is to create a more cohesive, inviting environment as commercial businesses are encouraged to consider those improvements that fully incorporate the surrounding community.  This program provides Village monies, up to $12,000.00 per property address, in the form of a loan for exterior building and site improvements.  Funds may be used for, but are not necessarily limited to, the following uses: exterior building materials, paint, awnings, windows, doors, landscaping, fencing, lighting or signs.

In exchange for this loan the Village assumes no less than a second (2nd) position on the mortgage of the property for a maximum of a twelve (12) year time period.  If the business pays the loan back within five (5) years there is NO interest charged to the business; a 2.5 percent interest is assessed for Years 5 through 8 and a 3.5 percent interest rate is assessed for Years 8 through 12.  The application process and required paperwork is short and easy to complete.  Approved projects are funded on a first-come/first-served basis until all funds for the calendar year are expended.  Project applications are approved by the Economic Development Committee and potential users of the program are encouraged to contact the Village Administrator at 779-6011 who serves as the Project Manager for this program.
