Welcome to Kutztown’s Newest Shop: Made
Tess and David opened the doors to Made in early December but made the grand opening official on December  11, 2009.  The Made Shop is located at 279 West Main Street.  As part of the grand opening, Anne from The Attic, Mayor Sandy Green and KCP Executive Director helped Tess and David cut the ribbon to their new business.  Made is a fantastic addition to Downtown Kutztown and helps to continue the ongoing expansion of retail.  Stop by Made today and see the creativity at work!

Façade Program
As a designated Main Street organization, KCP will be administering a façade program for 2010.  We will match façade improvements for signage, storefront improvements, restoration, cleaning and other improvements through a 50/50 reimbursement up to $5,000.  So if you do $10,000 worth of work, we will reimburse you ½ of that cost ($5,000).  If you do $3,000 worth of work, we will reimburse you $1,500.  Applications are limited to the commercial center district (generally Railroad to University along Main Streeet and one block off Main Street along the side streets that intersect Main Street). For more information, you can download KCP’s design guidelines below or call (484-646-9069) or stop by the office (324 West Main Street) for more information.  Funding is limited for 2010, so do not wait or the opportunity could be gone.
