Downtown Facelift Taking Shape

Before |
The goal of the Downtown Yankton Façade Grant Program is to stimulate private investment in downtown Yankton and improve the economic vibrancy of the area through fostering an attractive environment and preserving the architectural features of the downtown properties. To accomplish program goals, grant funds will be made available to eligible property owners and/or tenants of commercial buildings located within the targeted area for the purpose of upgrading the appearance of the publicly visible exterior of their structures. Private matching funds are a requirement under the program.
