The Defiance Development and Visitors Bureau was recently awarded $25,000 from the Defiance Area Foundation Community Fund! This grant money will be put towards the ongoing Downtown Facade Enhancement Program. Building owners must first  fund 50% of their facade enhancements and may request up to a $10,000 matching grant for the other 50% (funded by DDVB and the City of Defiance so far).
