WORLD RADIO HIASSO 8:00 now book of dally tvangollttlc and available in all bookslortsl I Jl ft I I I I I Loan program to improve business appearances KM By DES KELLER Courier Staff Writer A low-interest loan program to help downtown businesses improve their outward appearance was approved Tuesday by the Waterloo Community Development Board. The Facade Improvement Program has been sought by the Waterloo Redevelopment Authority (WRA) for three years but was not a reality until money from the former Rath Packing Co. liquidation became available. The program will begin with 8100,000 in funding and will be available to businesses that pay the special tax assessment to the redevelopment authority. The special assessment district is bounded approximately by Bluff and Franklin streets between Third and Seventh streets.

The money may be used for everything from retucking brick and stone work to redoing awnings, doors and windows, according to Randy Pilk-ington, WRA director. The program will provide up to 7) per front (a 20-foot-wide space) and up to $16,000 per project. The money will be loaned at 5 percent interest. Several businesses have indicated they would like to take advantage of the program soon, according to Pilk-ington. 'Once that begins to happen I think see it kind of snowball," he said.

"Our appearance is one thing we need to work on." Pilkington said a meeting will be conducted to inform business people and others how the program works. The financing for individual applications will be reviewed by the city's Community Development Department while the design plan for any project will be scrutinized by a Design Review Committee consisting of area architects, Pilkington said. There are provisions that if all the $100,000 is used more money may become available, or if there is money left over it could revert back to the Community Development Department. ment spoke of several changes for the Home Towner shopper, specifically the inclusion of community interest news in the Cedar Falls edition.
