The Cañon City Area for Reinvestment Expansion (C-CARE), through the C-CARE Downtown Life
Safety and Accessibility Grant Program, may provide a reimbursement grant matching up to 75%
of qualifying life safety and handicapped accessibility improvement project costs in an amount up
to $50,000 per property. The purpose of the program is to provide financial assistance for the
installation of fire suppression, safety code, and accessibility requirements necessary to bring older
buildings into compliance with current and applicable building, fire, and accessibility codes. The
program incentivizes downtown Cañon City property owners to update and improve existing
commercial buildings in order to increase the economic vitality of the buildings and increase sales
tax and property values, while preserving and enhancing Cañon City's architectural and cultural
history.
For further questions about the program, please contact Rick Harrmann, Economic Development Manager at rlharrmann@canoncity.org
