Granby Awarded Main Street Grant

The Town of Granby and Destination Granby are pleased to announce an award of $757,140 for improvements to a number of businesses located in the Town’s downtown district.  The Main Street Open for Business Grant is made possible by the Town of Granby through the Colorado Department of Local Affairs (DOLA).  Projects for selected businesses will include painting, window, façade improvements, and energy efficiency projects.

"The Town of Granby is grateful for these DOLA funds," Josh Hardy, Granby Mayor said. "This grant will allow many of our downtown business owners to do some much needed improvements to their businesses. Executive Director Lauren Huber and her staff at Destination Granby have gone above and beyond by obtaining these funds."

The highly competitive grant received over $21 million dollars in requests from 48 applications throughout Colorado with only $5.72 million dollars available. The awarded funds will pay for 80% of the total project costs with the remaining funds being split between the Town and the local businesses. These funds will be distributed among several downtown businesses who applied to be a part of this project during public information sessions. Their projects had to prove to meet several criteria including an increase in revenue, jobs and energy efficiency.  All work must be completed prior to June 30, 2022 to be eligible for the funding.  Work will begin after a contractor is chosen through a competitive bid process.

This grant is a game changer for downtown Granby," says Lauren Huber, Destination Granby, Executive Director.  "These projects will be a catalyst for economic growth for our town. We're excited to get started."

Comprehensive Plan

The Town of Granby is beginning the process to update its Comprehensive Plan, to guide the growth and evolution of the community over the next 20 years. This effort – “Imagine Granby” – will address key issues facing Granby, including planning for future land uses and development, housing, parks and open space, transportation, and infrastructure (water, sewer, etc.). Imagine Granby will also establish a vision for the future of Downtown Granby. A series of community meetings and surveys will be held over the next year to gather input from the Granby community concerning various options for the future and the preliminary and final versions of the Granby Comprehensive Plan.

The Imagine Granby website will serve as the central repository for information on the planning effort.
