Thrive’s Jared Wheeler told commissioners about an opportunity to learn about the Historic Economic Asset Lifeline (HEAL) program next week.

Thrive Allen County is presenting an opportunity to learn about the Historic Economic Asset Lifeline (HEAL) program. 

According to Economic Developer Jared Wheeler, the non-profit will host an information gathering meeting Nov. 12 for any business or building owners who are interested in the HEAL grant. 

“This grant is for the revitalization of any building in a downtown corridor or with historic architectural significance,” he explained to Allen County commissioners Tuesday morning. The grant’s purpose is to bring downtown buildings back into productive use as spaces for new or expanding businesses, housing, arts and culture, civic engagement, childcare, or entrepreneurship.
