Façade Improvement Program

The City of Haysville has created a Façade Improvement Grant Program that is designed to provide cost relief from façade (building front) rehabilitation efforts to businesses within designated Target areas. Target areas are located inside the City limits of Haysville and defined as: Broadway (US 81) Corridor; Main Street Corridor; Meridian Street Corridor; Grand Avenue Arterial; public and private Industrial Parks.  As funds allow,  grants are available to commercial and industrial building owners, or  lessees with signed approval from property owner, to accomplish façade rehabilitation projects according to a predetermined scope of work that must be presented with, and according to the Façade Grant Application.  Eligible projects will receive a grant of up to 50% of the facade project cost, excluding sales tax, with no single grant exceeding $2,500.  Following Application approval, and project completion which includes lien releases, funding will be reimbursed within 30 days of providing copies of paid receipts for the scope of work as presented in the Application.  It is the applicant’s responsibility to meet all applicable City ordinances and regulations when accomplishing building improvements. The Community Development staff will assist applicants through the grant process. Call the Community Development office to discuss your project and obtain an application.

Applications / Projects may not be funded if the level of direct competition with a business in any Target Area is deemed by City Staff to be detrimental in any way.   Potentially eligible recipients of program assistance must apply for funding assistance, and receive formal approval by action of Haysville City Staff, in advance of any façade rehabilitation efforts in order to receive reimbursement under the terms of the program. Incentives are designed as “but-for” incentives: “but-for the incentive’s certainty of being approved, as evidenced by formal approval being granted by City Staff, the business would not otherwise justify the total economic risks associated with the project”.
