The property owner at 420 Curtiss is applying for a Schertz Main Street Preservation Grant to replace the roof of a garage/carport for up to $9,125.00 (work estimated to cost $18,250.00). The new roof will be a standing seam metal roof.

In 2022, City Council amended the Main Street Grant program to make properties that have a Landmark Property Designation eligible for the grant even if they are not in the Main Street Incentive Area. This property has the Landmark Property Designation (approved by Council on May 6, 2025). Program assistance is available to owners of structures used for residential who make verified exterior structural or aesthetic modifications/improvements including but not limited to the roof, foundation, and wall repairs including brick re-pointing. Grants are available with a cap of $20,000 per property. Funds will be provided on a 50/50 matching basis. In-kind contributions may be counted toward the match requirement.

The owner originally applied for, and was approved for, a grant to replace the roof of the main structure. Subsequently, the owner decided not to use grant funds for that work and is seeking the funds to replace the roof of the garage/carport at the southwest corner of the lot (not the one up by Lindbergh). The Schertz Historical Preservation Committee recommended approval of this grant at their September 4, 2025 meeting.

Promote the history and culture of the City of Schertz to tourists and residents.

Recognize structures of significance to the community’s past.

Approval of Resolution 25-R-126 authorizing a Main Street Historic Preservation Grant for the property at 420 Curtiss for up to $9,125.00  to replace the roof (total cost estimated to be $18,250.00).

Up to $9,125.00 from Hotel Occupancy Tax Funds.

Approval of Resolution 25-R-126.
