Main Street Port Clinton has announced its Downtown Improvement Grant applications are available for businesses and building owners. The focus of the Downtown Improvement Grant is to provide financial support to downtown business and property owners seeking to improve their properties, positively influence economic growth and enhance aesthetic appeal.

These grants are made possible by the success of Main Street Port Clinton’s fundraisers, specifically the Walleye Festival. Since 2013, $110,000 has been awarded to downtown property owners and business owners.

Main Street Port Clinton is striving to promote, preserve, and improve downtown historic Port Clinton as a vibrant center for businesses, entertainment, and cultural activities for residents of the community and visitors to our area.

For more information about Downtown Improvement Grants, contact the Main Street Port Clinton office at 419-734-5503 or pick up grant applications at 110 Madison Street. Deadline to submit application is Feb. 28.
