The Town of Brookville is eligible for implementation of downtown preservation projects and operational expenses up to $2 million through OCRA's Community Development Block Grant program. The program also includes multiple capacities and leadership-building opportunities through a partnership with Main Street America, Indiana Humanities, and Indiana Landmarks. In addition, $2 million in CDBG funds will be used for transformational façade and building improvements over the two years.
The Brookville community is responsible for a 10% match ($200,000), and organizations like F1rst Financial are helping reach the mark.
