Historic Renovation Grant Program

Main Street Corner

The Cottage Grove Historic Landmarks Commission accept Historic Renovation Grant applications each fall for work occurring within that  fiscal year. 

This program is designed to assist Historic Downtown business & property owners with needed historic renovations. All projects must be located within the National Register Historic District, and must be for exterior work. Past projects funded through this program include the restoration of neon signs, repainting historic murals, window repair, brick & mortar repair, stucco repair, restoration studies, and new awnings.

Annually, a total of $10,000 in City funds is distributed between successful applicants. Typical grant awards are for between $500-$3500. Each applicant must match this award at a 1:1 ratio. Projects must be complete by June of the following year.

This is the eight year of this grant program. Prior recipients have included the Cottage Grove Hotel (new awning), Burkholder Woods (corbel repair), Mortier building (Coca Cola mural, masonry repair), 802 E. Main Street (new stucco, roof repair), the Bookmine (awning and siding repair), and the First National Bank (masonry cleaning, windows repair).
