Main Street facade project

Thermopolis has been chosen as one of just three Wyoming towns to participate in the Main Street Façade Improvement Grant Program through Main Street America.

Thermopolis joins the Laramie Main Street Alliance and Downtown Rock Springs in receiving grants up to $25,000 for improving downtown facades.

Wyoming Main Street manager, Linda Klinck said, “Wyoming Main Street is excited for this opportunity for the Main Street programs in Laramie, Rock Springs and Thermopolis.

“The Main Street approach is rooted in historic preservation with a focus on the downtown district because it can be a destination, but the ultimate goal is the economic health of the whole community. This fund will reinforce the historic preservation work that has already been done in these communities.”

Suzanne Samelson with Main Street Thermopolis said their group is in the beginning stages of reaching out to building owners and businesses in the downtown area to ascertain their interest in participating in the program.
