Mathews County
“Mathews County has been awarded a $666,696 Community Development Block
Grant from the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development for a
business district revitalization project in the downtown area.
The county’s planning and zoning director, John Shaw, said that the
money will be used for a couple of different purposes. One purpose will be for
awarding small grants to business owners who would like to improve the
appearance of their storefronts. Owners of 11 properties that include 20
storefronts have already expressed an interest in applying for the grants, he
said. Each grant would require a 1:1 match, with matching funds provided in
cash, in improvements already made within the past year-and-a-half or so, or a
combination of the two.”
