FAC-23-0901 Consider Downtown Facade Grant – 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 and doors, replace graphics on the front doors and windows,
and add surveillance cameras.
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.
Member Gerstenberger made a motion to recommend approval of the façade grant, seconded
by Member Scott.
