He’s at work on a project that would make the necessary cultural statement, but the city’s not erecting another big-name museum or an eco-friendly skyscraper.

Old Town Arts & Design Distric Improves Building with Grants

Indy Star/Carmel
 
 
A Carmel Redevelopment Commission program awarded $32,500 in grants to help owners in the Old Town Arts & Design District improve their building's facades last year -- including the owners of one property who received a total of three grants.
According to grant guidelines given to applicants, individual grants are capped at $5,000 for each project and are given to property or business owners in the Old Town area to help cover the cost of building renovations.
Owners apply for the grants, and they are reviewed and awarded by Les Olds, the city's director of redevelopment.
John Levinsohn and Bob Merrill, who jointly own the three-parcel old Pizza King building on Main Street under the name Bobby John LLC, received three $5,000 grants to make improvements to the building's facade. The renovations totaled $20,194.
