The City has established this commercial historic revitalization program to encourage rehabilitation, enhancement, restoration, and preservation of façades, signage, and general improvements in the Downtown Historic District (“DHD”) as a catalyst to:
(i) attract new customers and businesses to Garland’s DHD;
(ii) stimulate new, private investment and economic development in the DHD;
(iii) positively impact the marketability and perception of the DHD
(iv) promote commercial revitalization of the DHD.
The City has determined that the Downtown Historic District Revitalization Program (“DHDRP”) is in the public interest and that investing public resources in the DHD will promote local economic development in the City, stimulate business and commercial activity, help attract visitors and tourists to Garland, and benefit the City and its citizens.
The DHDRP is focused on revitalizing commercial buildings located in the DHD to make them more economically viable and visually attractive by appropriately renovating the façade or, whenever possible, restoring the façade back to its original appearance, as well as making general improvements to the building to enhance its economic and commercial appeal.
