In Defiance…

A number of developments are occurring in downtown Defiance these days. Among them is a possible grant program for downtown building owners which has received Defiance City Council’s verbal support. If approved by council in the 2023 budget, such grants would provide $50,000 total for the improvement of downtown building facades. Though still undetermined, the thought is for the grant to feature a 50-50 pay plan, where the building owners will pay contractors half and then the grant will pay the other half up to $10,000…once the work has been completed.
