The owner of the property at 533 Main, The Bar House, has applied for a Main Street Local Flavor Economic Development Grant for plumbing work at this property. The property has already received two Main Street Local Flavor Economic Development Grants for $37,500.00. As such, the applicant is only able to receive another $2,500.00 in grants, as there is a $40,000.00 cap. The project is estimated to cost approximately $10,000.00 and the grant matches up to 50% - except in this case it is limited to $2,500.00 due to the prior grants. 

As of now, two other grants for other properties are open, both historic preservation grants - 420 Curtiss for $9,125 and 93 Bubbling Springs for $6,641.89.
