FAIRPORT AWARDS FIRST FRONT PORCH GRANT

INSPIRED BY LANDMARK SOCIETY “FIVE TO REVIVE”

(Fairport, NY - June 1, 2018) The Fairport Office of Community + Economic Development (OCED) is pleased to announce it has awarded its first matching grant through the Front Porch Grant program that helps Village residents to renovate, repair or upgrade their front porches.

OCED Board Member and Village Trustee Ken Rohr presented the check to Mr. Paul Kurzdorfer of Deland Park B.  The $250.00 matching grant enabled Mr. Kurzdorfer to upgrade the materials chosen for the project, resulting in more attractive, and structurally stable front steps.

“The Village of Fairport is a traditional ‘Front Porch Friendly’ community with walkable neighborhoods,” said Mr. Rohr.  “The front porch is a great place for entertaining and getting to know your neighbors. Our matching grant program will make it more affordable for homeowners to renovate or upgrade their porches to enhance their homes and neighborhoods.”

 Collaboration with The Landmark Society means that Fairport residents will have access to information, names of expert craftspeople, and other resources that can help them with renovation plans.

“The Landmark Society is delighted to help residents of Fairport however we can as they use this welcome grant to help repair and restore front porches in this historic community,” said Wayne Goodman, Executive Director.

The Landmark Society put front porches on their 2018 priority list because of the clear contribution they make to the built environment. Porches are especially vulnerable to the deteriorating forces of rain, wind, and snow and they require special attention to maintain and repair. “It is critical for the long-term preservation of historic homes and the viability of communities that porches receive significant attention,” said Goodman.    

The residential front porch matching grant program is being piloted in the northwest quadrant of the village. OCED plans to roll the program out in other areas of the village within the next year.

 Additional information and applications can be found on the OCED website at www.fairportoced.org or by calling 421-3240.
