RURAL TRANSFORMATION GRANT SUPPORTS WELDON REVITALIZATION

The Town of Weldon was a round one recipient of Rural Transformation Grant (RTG) funds from the NC Department of Commerce. RTG funding will provide funding for improvements at River Falls Park on the Roanoke River, implementation of a wayfinding program, and sidewalk improvements in the 300 block of Washington Avenue. To date, the Town of Weldon has solicited engineering proposals to design the sidewalk improvements and hired Bizzell Design, Inc. to execute a wayfinding and downtown vision planning process.

Complementing the Rural Transformation Grant, the Town has established a Façade Improvement Program that provides matching funds to help business owners create a new look for their exteriors.
