EATONTOWN – The Grow Monmouth Facade Improvement Program recognized Matt’s Truck and Auto Repair for recent upgrades to the exterior of its building.
Owner Matthew Siemientkowski accepted a reimbursement check for $1,845 earlier this week from Freeholder Thomas A. Arnone.
The program is part of the successful Grow Monmouth initiative that is using HUD Community Development Block Grant funds to help improve the look of privately held commercial buildings located in HUD eligible areas of Monmouth County. No county funds are being used for the program.
HUD eligible areas include all or part of 24 of the county’s municipalities. Eligible municipalities include: Atlantic Highlands, Belmar, Eatontown, Highlands, Red Bank, Shrewsbury Township and West Long Branch.
Asbury Park, Long Branch and Middletown businesses are not eligible for this program because those municipalities receive designated HUD Community Development Block Grants directly.
To date, Monmouth County has dispersed $25,386 through the program.
Additional information about the Grow Monmouth Façade Improvement Program is available by contacting the Monmouth County Division of Economic Development at 732-431-7470 or visiting the Grow Monmouth section of the county website at www.visitmonmouth.com.
