NEGAUNEE, MI— Two Negaunee businesses have received $50,000 in façade grants.
The Downtown Development Authority approved the grants last week.
City Manager Nate Heffron says last year the City Council earmarked $200,000 in American Recovery Act funding to be spent over the next two years for façade grants for downtown buildings.
$25,000 was awarded to Love and Bicycles. The money will be used to install new windows and restore the storefront to its historical character.
Another $25,000 went to Rachel Grossman, who bought Chappers Pub and plans to open a new restaurant in the building. She will also use the grant to restore the historical façade.
