The purpose of the C-CARE Building Systems Grant Program is to help make improvements to older buildings that help maximize their contribution to the Cañon City economy. The program is aimed at revitalizing older commercial building systems in Cañon City in a manner that supports modern system efficiencies, and commercial and mixed-use business uses, while helping reduce the cost of installation and building operations, thereby increasing the profitability, affordability, and economic contribution of the structures.
This program is designed to provide financial assistance for the improvement of HVAC, plumbing, electrical and weatherization systems in older or historic buildings (see qualifications below). By offering grants that cover up to 75% of building system renovation and/or installation costs – up to a maximum grant award of $25,000 – C-CARE hopes to encourage the revitalization and restoration of these valuable assets in our city, helping make them safer, more energy efficient, and potentially more marketable and feasible for lease, acquisition, or investment.
For further questions about the program, please contact Rick Harrmann, Economic Development Manager at rlharrmann@canoncity.org
