The Historical Society has offered mini matching grants for several years now. It started with the $200 grants for applicants to get help with supplies and paint for exterior work on their homes. Later the amount rose to $500 per matching grant for "Paint the Town" grants. Many people and including business owners took advantage of these grants and we could see a definite uptick in the appearance of the buildings.
