(Fairport, NY - May 1, 2018) The Fairport Office of Community + Economic Development (OCED) is pleased to announce a new matching grant program that will help Village residents to renovate, repair or upgrade their front porches.

OCED is collaborating with The Landmark Society of Western New York, which named “The Front Porch” as one of its 2018 Five to Revive initiatives, recognizing its importance in preserving neighborhoods. The Fairport Urban Renewal Agency is providing initial funding of $20,000 for the pilot which will award qualifying residents matching grants up to $2,000.

The residential front porch matching grant program is being piloted in the Deland Park neighborhood in the northwest quadrant of the village. The neighborhood is primarily owner-occupied traditional American Foursquares, representative of a typical early 20th century neighborhood. OCED plans to roll the program out in other areas of the village within the next year...
