The Kansas Department of Commerce has announced it will award almost $86,000 in Incentives Without Walls funding for business and community projects in seven cities—including Holton.
Lifetime Eye Care located at 121 West 4th Street in downtown Holton will receive $5,000 to renovate the former second story apartment to prepare for a new business.
The renovation work will include removal of old flooring, refinishing the floors and walls, remodeling the bathroom, new electrical, HVAC, and repairing the windows.
Incentives Without Walls funding provides direct financial support to downtown businesses in designated Kansas Main Street program cities to stimulate private investment.
Kansas Main Street is a self-help technical assistance program that targets preservation and revitalization of downtown districts. There are currently 25 Kansas Main Street cities.
