Belle Plaine Downtown RevitalizationThe City of Belle Plaine received the state’s first award under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Downtown Revitalization Fund. With assistance from ECICOG, the community submitted a successful application for $500,000 and administered the funds to assist with building façade improvements to approximately thirty downtown structures in a 2+ block area, which comprises the community’s central business district.
Main Street is the heart and soul of every small town in America. Unlike our bigger counterparts, small town America realizes that your Main Street probably reflects the economic health of your community. We've dedicated $2 million to downtown revitalization and grants and project support from ECICOG has been invaluable. -Dave Fish, Mayor |
