Colville Together is thrilled to announce the recipients of the fifth annual Façade & Building Improvement Grant, a key initiative aimed at revitalizing and preserving the heart of downtown Colville! This year’s response was nothing short of incredible, showcasing the community’s unwavering dedication to enhancing the historic charm and vibrancy of our beloved downtown district.
Colville Together proudly awarded reimbursable grants to three outstanding projects that will make a lasting impact on our downtown landscape:
· The Old Bank Building – Façade repair and painting ($3,000)
· Alpine Theater – Restoration of marquee and neon ($1,500)
· Barmans Building – Storefront painting ($1,500)
Administered by Colville Together’s Design Committee, the Façade & Building Improvement Grant program is designed to make revitalization efforts accessible, creative, and community driven. Grants of up to $5,000 help business and property owners invest in improvements that preserve, restore, and maintain downtown buildings, ensuring that Colville’s rich history and small-town charm continue to shine.
“This program is about more than just beautification—it’s about investing in the future of downtown Colville,” said Rosemary Shaw, Executive Director of Colville Together. “Thanks to the Main Street Tax Credit Incentive Program, we’re able to support projects that strengthen our community, honor our past, and build a more vibrant future. We are incredibly grateful for this program through Washington State Main Street to bring funding to Colville and the passion of our local property owners to preserve their buildings!”
The Façade & Building Improvement Grant is available to property owners within the Colville Together focus area, spanning from 3rd Ave to Birch Ave and Wynne St to Oak St.
Colville Together extends a heartfelt thank you to the property owners who continue to work to improve Colville’s downtown and to contributors to the Main Street Tax Credit Incentive Program (MSTCIP), whose generous contributions make this initiative possible. Contributors to the MSTCIP receive a 75% tax credit on their B&O taxes as well as the joy of seeing their invested funds working in their community.
