| Downtown revitalization in the City of Monticello | Since being designated a Better Hometown in 1998, the city has landscaped its downtown square, attracted 20 new businesses to downtown and successfully raised over $873,000 in grant funds, including $400,000 from DCA, to make streetscape improvements. They have also created a historic district and restored the historic Benton Building. Impacts have extended beyond the downtown to the city's entries and gateways-making Highways 11 and 83 the state's second recognized Scenic Byway. | Downtown Planning Grants for Financing Infrastructure Improvements Heritage Preservation Programs Historic Preservation Standards Scenic Byway Designation Urban/Downtown (Re)development |
