Goldsboro facade and entertainment grant program
Summary
The city is close to creating a hybrid redevelopment program for Goldsboro with $75,000 in first-year funding for facade grants and cultural events along Historic Goldsboro Boulevard. The Main Street board will manage it and set grant rules with community input. It's not a full CRA, but it's the most significant reinvestment tool Goldsboro has had proposed in decades.
