Hanover Facade Incentive Program continues

The Town of Hanover is launching its sixth intake for its Facade Incentive Program.

The program promotes and builds on the inclusion of art programming such as signs, banners, mural work, sidewalk art, commemoration and custom site amenities.

It's a one-time fund for 100 per cent of eligible costs relating to art-related work, with a max of $1,500 for work done in the town's approved downtown areas.

The Facade Incentive Program was first launched in 2014. Hanover has invested over $227,000 in the program since then.

Applications are available on a first come, first serve basis, and can be found at hanover.ca/façade-incentive-program.
