New Revitalization Tandem Grant Initiative Announced

The article reported on what improvements are covered by the ACR tandem grant and what areas of the county are eligible for it.

It included a quote from County Executive Pittman, who said:

“Small businesses and commercial property owners located in our older commercial corridors were impacted by the pandemic and had less resources to maintain their storefronts. This grant initiative not only helps support those businesses but it supports the beautification of our communities as a whole.”

It also included the following quote from Interim CEO Seamon:

“The grant is a great addition to our revitalization toolbox, which currently includes the ACRF program, the county’s revitalization tax credit and a complimentary ‘architect-on-call’ service,” said AAEDC Interim CEO Jill Seamon. “All together these resources can help renew economic vibrancy and mitigate blight in our mature commercial districts.”
