Fifth round of Lewis County’s Façade and Streetscape Improvement Program is a go!

LOWVILLE- Lewis County is pleased to announce the fifth round of its Façade and Streetscape Improvement Program.

It is an initiative designed to incentivize property owners, non-profits, business owners and municipalities to perform façade and streetscape improvements across the county.

“The success of this program demonstrates how strategic investments can quickly strengthen our community. The visible progress in our downtowns and commercial areas is drawing new investment and helping to create a place where future generations of Lewis County families will be proud to call home,” said Timothy Hunt, County Manager.

Façade improvement funds are available to property owners, non-profits, and businesses with mixed-use or commercial buildings in the downtown areas of hamlets or villages. Eligible projects must comply with local zoning regulations and design standards.

Improvements can include, but are not limited to, enhancements to entryways, signage, windows, doors, exterior paint, and lighting.

The application deadline is December 31, 2025. 

This program will provide 75/25 matching funds for eligible improvements to mixed-use and commercial buildings and streetscape enhancements in Lewis County’s villages and hamlets.
