Building Facades: The Face of Omro
Downtown Omro is fortunate to be designated as both a National and State Historic District, because of this it is necessary to uphold the integrity of each buildings original facade. Future Omro and the Omro BID provide support to property and business owners is through the Design Guidelines (below) and the Facade Grants (see application below).
Future Omro offers guidance to business and property owners in the program area, as well as tenants, who are interested in doing rehabilitation, renovation, or new construction. Examples of possible improvements, color schemes, signs, paint and awning samples, and technical information about how to get the work done, may be available. Recognizing that each building is unique, these design guidelines serve as a framework for various projects. They suggest ways in which property or business owners and developers can become a part of and add to the diverse charm and history of Omro’s Main Street district.
There are a few simple steps to follow in applying for individual design assistance:
