At its last meeting, the Monona City Council approved funding for a Monona Drive Façade Improvement Program. The program is being undertaken in combination with the City’s overall redevelopment of the Monona Drive right-of-way.
The goal of the program is to enhance the visual aesthetics of a portion of the Monona Drive corridor in the City of Monona by offering grant funding to building owners to improve their building frontage on Monona Drive. Improvements to the visual appearance of the corridor are designed to spur reinvestment, which will lead to enhanced economic vitality of this area of the City.
Grant funds will be offered by the City of Monona, which has money budgeted for the program from a Tax Increment District (TID) that includes the area. Successful grant recipients will receive a 50% match reimbursement of all eligible project costs to the amount approved by the City of Monona Finance and Personnel Committee, with a total grant amount not to exceed $10,000.
