NAUEA

This program, begun in 2002, has created numerous partnerships between property owners, developers and the Zone. Through this program, the enterprise zone pays 50% of façade improvements costs up to $2,500.

Since its inception, the zone has invested approximately $250,000 total while private investment has exceeded an estimated $1,000,000.

The façade improvement program has helped improve facades not just by painting and spiffing up the face of a building, but has helped save buildings by replacing roofs and windows as well as helping pay for other structural necessities as well.

Downtown New Albany is filled with buildings that have benefited from the Enterprise Zone’s Façade Improvement Grant program.
