City Council approves Downtown Building Grant application

The Chickasha City Council has approved the application of Luigi’s for the Downtown Building Grant.

The application had previously been reviewed and recommended to the city council by the Chickasha Economic Development Council Board. The measure approved by the city certifies that the applicant’s planned building improvements meet the program’s eligibility criteria. Once the work is completed, the EDC Board and City Council will vote again to approve the actual disbursement of grant funds.

Luigi’s, an Italian eatery, will be located at 117 N. 2nd Street, previously Temazcal and Roberto’s.

The Downtown Building Grant offers a $1 reimbursement for every $3 spent on qualifying improvements for buildings in the downtown business district, up to $25 per square foot. Luigi’s is eligible to receive up to $124,750.
