TRA providing facade grants for downtown businesses

Things are looking a little fresher in downtown Tallassee thanks to grants being awarded by the Tallassee Redevelopment Authority.

The Tallassee Redevelopment Authority facade grant aided in the purchase of picnic tables and umbrellas in front of Tallassee Nutrition and Meme Sue Bakery. The grant is aimed at improving appearances in downtown Tallassee to attract people downtown.

So far the TRA has issued three grants. One went to The Mill Collective to aid installing new signage. The other two have gone to Tallassee Nutrition and Meme Sue’s Bakery and Creamery for picnic tables and umbrellas.
