I just received an inquiry about available Florida or federal funding for neighborhood and commercial revitalization for smaller cities and counties. This is a timely subject, because one of the available programs has an application due date of July 31, 2009. That program is the "Florida Main Street Program." It is a relatively small grant program of the State of Florida which encourages the revitalization of traditional, historic downtown and neighborhood commercial districts. The available funding is a $10,000 seed-money grant per community that is reimbursed based on the same amount spent by the local program over the course of a year.
