The Hanover Chamber and Main Street Hanover continue to focus on Downtown Hanover. In fact, Main Street Hanover just applied for a $30,000 grant from the Department of Community and Economic Development for building façade improvements in Downtown.

The façade grant program compliments Main Streets low interest loan program for property owners interested in painting, masonry work, replacement of doors, windows and signage. Property owners meeting the grant criteria can obtain a $5,000 grant per property to help off-set expenses providing an incentive to invest in improvements to their property.

In addition, a number of meetings have been coordinated with developers and commercial real estate firms to tour downtown buildings to discuss reuse of certain buildings that could lead to future investment in downtown properties.
