Johnstown property projects set

JOHNSTOWN - Facade and masonry improvements, signs, painting and replacement of doors and windows are among more than $345,000 worth of work planned by seven downtown properties taking part in the city's NY Main Street Grant Program.

City Engineer Chandra Cotter on Tuesday made public what the city considers the "anticipated" scope of work by building owners who last spring were awarded money from a $200,000 grant the city received late last year.

The NY Main Street Grant Program, headed by the state Office of Community Renewal, provides money from the New York State Housing Trust Fund Corp.

Downtown Johnstown property owners receiving 2013 NY Main Street Program Grant awards were: the Brenner Group LLC, 17 W. Main St. - $34,900; Bryan Marcucci, 18 W. Main St. - $31,850; Jeff Kollar and Nick Kollar, 1-5 W. Main St. - $24,375; Linda S. Joseph Inc., 19 W. Main St. - $16,125; Arthur Schrum and Douglas Town, 128 W. Main St. - $15,000; On The Way Up LLC (Laura Casamento), 37-41 W. Main St. - $15,000; and Theresa Cook, 32 W. Main St. - $12,750.

Projects were graded on which ones would have the "maximum impact" downtown. Of those selected for awards, the Brenner Group LLC, 17 W. Main St., had the highest score with 54 points. The project by Linda S. Joseph Inc., 19 W. Main St., had the lowest score of 45.
