Property and business owners are encouraged to follow the Design Guidelines when considering updating their buildings. An incentive is provided through a grant program from the Bartlett Station Commission that will fund up to 50% of design and construction expenses, to a grant limit tentatively set at $35,000 per project, based on the extent to which the design is in compliance with the principles of the Guidelines. (The grant supports exterior changes to improve the appearance of a building—not repair, maintenance, or interior changes.)
