Dear Editor,

The City of Warrensburg and Warrensburg Main Street offer a terrific facade grant program.

I own the Cafe Blackadder building (Julie Kendall owns the cafe) and have worked hard to improve the building inside and out. Last year I received the $1,000 facade grant on the project of replacing the awning.

This year I received it for replacing the old windows with energy efficient windows. The grant varies in amounts up to $1,000 depending on the work. While the cost of these projects is much more than the grant, that $1,000 each year has been a wonderful boost to my budget, and helped make the projects feasible.

This a great example of the city working with the community to make improvements possible.

Sandy Irle,
