The North Carolina Main Street program has worked closely with UNCG’s Interior Architecture Department and its Center for Community-Engaged Design to provide design assistance to designated Main Street and Small Town Main Street communities across the state. The Main Street Sylva Association was fortunate to be able to facade renderings as part of our 5-Year Mill Street Revitalization Plan. We are so grateful to them for all of their hard work.
We were also able to partner with The Community Foundation of Western North Carolina and the Jackson County TDA to create a facade grant program for downtown Sylva. The Community Foundation generously provided us with a $10,000 grant and the TDA provided a $20,000 grant to fund this year's program. So far we have had 14 Letters of Interest, 7 Approved Applications and 4 Completed projects.
