FAC-23-0101 Consider Downtown Facade Grant – 349 E Main St
The grant is specifically for the south side façade, but the overall project will be done in phases
and include all sides of the building. The total project for all four sides will be just under $1 million
and include tuckpointing, new windows, some replacement of copper and repairs to brick and
copper as necessary. The contractor, Atco, has done work at the Artisan Ale building, the current
project at the former bowling alley and at the courthouse in Monmouth. As this is an extensive
porject that will take some time to complete all aspects, Atco has agreed to lock in pricing through
2024.

Member Markwart.

Facade Advisory Committee Letter
September 5, 2023
AGENDA ITEM: FAC-23-0901
BACKGROUND: Attached for the Committee’s review is a facade grant application from Formal Wear
of Galesburg, Inc d/b/a Ducky’s Formal Wear, for proposed facade improvements at 31 N Kellogg St.
Ducky’s Formal Wear had the opportunity to move the men’s section to 31 N Kellogg St, which
allowed them to expand their business and increase staffing levels with 3 part time positions. They
are proposing to install new windows, doors, replace graphics on the front doors and windows, and
add surveillance cameras.
The total eligible project cost is $20,100. One estimate was included in the application packet for
windows, awnings, electric and signage each.
If approved, the owner anticipates beginning work as soon possible with an estimated completion by
December 31, 2023. The estimated total façade project cost is $20,100 and they are eligible to
request up to 50% or a maximum of $40,000 of the project costs through the facade grant program.
The program is subject to availability of funds and at this time they can request up to $10,050.
We have received the following information:
• Proof of building ownership and consent of the owner
