DAYTON, Tenn. – MainStreet Dayton will begin the third phase of its courthouse square revitalization project later this summer, officials said at the group’s monthly meeting this week.

Design Committee Chairman Kerry Nabors said he had received at least nine requests for program applications “due to the success of the last two [phase renovations].”

In October 2011, the board approved $75,000 for the second phase of renovations, aimed at completing projects not covered in the first phase of sign work, exterior painting and new awnings at downtown businesses.

The board approved Nabors’ request for $112,500 for the third phase of work, rather than the budgeted $100,000. Approved applicants will receive $10,000 for improvements to include storefront glass and glazing, exterior windows, entrance doors and miscellaneous exterior building rehabilitation, he said.
