McMinnville officials have unanimously passed a resolution that could lead to securing a grant for $25,000 to be used to help downtown property owners make improvements to their properties.The grant is being applied for by Main Street McMinnville from the Community Development Block Grant Program, one of the longest continuously run programs at HUD. As part of the grant requirements, officials had to pass a resolution to show their support. If awarded, the grant will be divided into smaller grants for downtown property owners and awarded to property owners through Main Street McMinnville’s Design Committee, which works in conjunction with the city of McMinnville’s Historic Zoning Commission to improve downtown. “We’re really excited about this grant,” said Design Committee chairwoman Rachel Killebrew.
