The City of Lemoore has funds available to provide low-interest loans to property owners and/or tenants of commercial buildings within the Downtown Lemoore Business District for the purpose of upgrading the exterior appearance of their building. This loan program is funded by the Lemoore Redevelopment Agency. Loans will be approved for the entire cost of the facade improvement project up to a maximum of $10,000 per twenty-five lineal foot of business frontage.

A recent example of how the Facade Loan Program has benefitted the Downtown is the new ARVAL Legal Services Building located on Heinlen Street. With help from the City and Crown Development Corporation, ARVAL was able to take a blighted Downtown building and turn it into the beautiful office building that just opened in early April 1998.

Directly adjacent to the new ARVAL building is another blighted building that detracts from Downtown's beauty. However, thanks to another Facade Loan, there will soon be a Physical Therapy office located in that particular spot, complete with a new building and an attractive facade. Both of these projects provide clear examples of how redevelopment is alive in Downtown Lemoore.

The City encourages all active revitalization efforts that take place in the Downtown.
