What happened
David Toland announced that $1.5 million is available for the seventh round of the Historic Economic Asset Lifeline (HEAL) program grants in Kansas communities. These grants are designed to revitalize dilapidated and underutilized downtown buildings. The program encourages urban distressed downtown communities to apply, with grants up to $750,000 available for communities with 50,000 or more residents.
Why it matters
The state investment aims to bring economic vibrancy to downtown areas by restoring buildings for new businesses, housing, and entrepreneurial activities. Since the program began in 2021, $8.2 million has been awarded, leveraging $45 million in local matching funds.
David Toland serves as the economic development agency head for the state of Kansas.
