Cultivating our Main Street
We at Main Street Gardnerville are excited to announce our Façade Improvement Grant program available to commercial properties located in the Main Street Gardnerville District. As a revitalization effort of our Downtown, the purpose of this program is to improve the appearance and functionality of commercial buildings while developing a unique identity and preserving the historic nature and character of our downtown.
This program is designed to encourage current and prospective property owners in the downtown area to significantly improve the appearance of the outside of their buildings, through grants offering a 50/50 match for improvements to the building’s exterior. To assure that the improvements are of high quality and cost-effective, and in keeping with the goals set by Main Street Gardnerville for authentic and historically sensitive redevelopment, we will be working with the Town of Gardnerville to ensure all improvements comply with the Town of Gardnerville Design Guidelines.
