Community Development Assistance Programs

The City of Jamestown, as an entitlement community for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding, offers a variety of community development programs to assist Downtown Jamestown businesses and property owners with exterior building and handicapped accessibility improvements.

CDBG Funded Programs

Downtown Jamestown Greenlining Loan Program

The Downtown Jamestown Greenlining Facade Rebate Program provides a fifty percent (50%)matching rebate, up to a maximum of $15,000 per storefront, for exterior improvements to buildings located within a targeted area of the Central Business District. A Downtown Jamestown Greenlining Facade Rebate Review Committee meets on an as needed basis to review Greenlining Facade Rebate Program applications. The primary objective of the Downtown Jamestown Greenlining Facade Rebate Program is to encourage the appropriate preservation and restoration of buildings within the target area.

Handicapped Accessibility Improvement Rebate Program

The Handicapped Accessibility Improvement Rebate Program provides a fifty percent (50%)rebate, up to a maximum of $30,000 per building, for handicapped accessible improvements to buildings located within a targeted area of the Central Business District. This program is designed to assist building owners comply with Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.

NOTE: Both the aforementioned programs require the execution of a five (5) year Anti-Speculation and Maintenance Agreement which encourages proper building maintenance and discourages the sale of the improved property under the penalty of repayment of the funds used to improve the property

Technical Assistance Grant Program
