2022 Grant Program

Program materials will be available by August 1, 2022

The Downtown Historic Grant program was created to preserve and improve properties in the Downtown Historic District while increasing the district’s economic vitality.

Properties located in the Downtown Historic District that are at least 40 years old and designated Littleton historic landmarks used for commercial purposes are eligible to apply.

Both owners of the property and tenants of the property can apply, with the owner’s consent.

$50,000 in grant funding was available in 2021. The program is competitive, with funds distributed among top projects.

Grants may be awarded for up to the following percentages of the overall cost of the project:

• Up to 25% for roof work and maintenance of mechanical systems
• Up to 50% for all other work
• A one-time grant of up to 80% for properties included in the district within 24 months of the application deadline

If the proposed grant project requires a certificate of historic appropriateness (COA), the COA must be approved prior to the approval of the grant.
