See details below and pages 2 and 3. ZOOM LINK: In attached flyer 9:00 Adjourn About the program: In anticipation of new construction and development in downtown Dover, it is vital to bring current buildings up to today’s standards, and to occupy these buildings with appropriate and sustainable businesses. To address this need, in July 2022, the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) was awarded funds from the Delaware Community Reinvestment Fund and, coupled with DDP and property owner funding, offered a special program of “limited time only” financial incentives for improvements to commercial properties in the downtown Dover central business district. The program prioritized critical life-safety and ADA compliance improvements, preparing for commercial kitchens, and ensuring that properties become leased as a result of improvements made. Just recently, the DDP was awarded additional funds to enable DDP to open a new round of funding allocations. In this presentation, attendees will: • See examples of how funding was allocated in the first round. • Hear about various State, County and local incentives for building improvements. • Consider whether their proposed project may fall in line with the priorities in the new round. • Preview the CIP Pre-Application. • Have opportunity to ask questions. NOTE: Meeting may adjourn early; informal discussion may continue beyond 9 a.m. Next scheduled meeting - January 17, 2024
