The applications process is now open for a statewide program designed to boost downtown development and quality of life. The Downtown Enhancement Grant initiative is led by the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs.

The funds range from $5,000 to $10,000 and support projects that improve quality of life, spur economic development and help increase private investment and employment.

OCRA Executive Director Bill Konyha says "DEG continues to assist in fostering a culture that welcomes new businesses and quality of place initiatives for our Indiana Main Street communities. We look forward to the continued partnerships in building economic prosperity for both current and future residents of our Hoosier communities."

Applications are due online by March 11 and winners will be announced the week of April 4.
