New
paint, roofs, signs and other exterior improvements are coming to many of the City’s
commercial areas thanks to the City’s Facade Improvement Program. One project funded
by the program was the painting of Mariposa Hall on Lighthouse Avenue (pictured at right).
The applicant chipped away the building’s paint to find that the historic building
colors were green and off-white. The new paint scheme reflects the building’s
historic roots.
In fiscal year 2002-2003 the City awarded 7 grants totaling
$23,000 to local businesses to improve their storefront facades. The facade program was
developed to help enhance the appearance of existing commercial areas. Qualifying
improvements ranged from new paint jobs to awnings and planter boxes. Individual grants
were limited to $5,800 or less per property.
