BPA makes up to three annual matching grants of up to $1,000 to assist property owners with preservation and restoration efforts.
Properties eligible for BPA’s matching grants include downtown commercial property and historic property owned by non-profit organizations. Residential property is not eligible.
Past grants have assisted in restoring tin ceilings, re-painting exteriors, replacing deteriorated awnings, and reopening closed doorways. They have assisted in major projects like the restoration of the Melba and the creation of Maxfield Park.
