Collegeville Main Street Program to Unveil
State Farm Good Neighbors Curbside Appeal Program   

On Friday, June 11, representatives of State Farm presented the Collegeville Main Street Program (CMSP) with a check in the amount of $3,500 to be used for the State Farm Good Neighbors Curbside Appeal Program.  The Good Neighbors Program was developed by the Collegeville Main Street Program (CMSP) Design Committee to compliment the Façade Challenge Program already in operation.

The Good Neighbors Program will allow property and business owners within the designated Main Street District to receive a matching grant up to $500 to improve their curbside spaces with hardscaping or landscaping.  Similar to the Façade Challenge Program, owners will need to submit an application along with plans and quotes, and the Design Committee will need to approve any plans before work begins.

Larry Hoak, State Farm agent located on Main Street in Collegeville is pleased that State Farm is able to assist with the revitalization of Collegeville.  “State Farm is committed to meeting the needs of our communities and part of that is helping neighborhoods and local businesses prosper.  To us, being a good neighbor is more than slogan, it is our business.  We are honored to be a part of this wonderful Main Street program and look forward to a continued and successful partnership.”

“This is a wonderful opportunity for property and business owners to improve the overall look of the property.  Not only can owners receive up to $5000 for projects relating to the facade of the building, now they can also receive money for projects in front of their buildings or in their front yard,” says Debbie Riegner, Design Committee Chairperson.
