Nicollet Square Building Design Samples:
 Plymouth Church Neighborhood Foundation presented three different architectural designs for Nicollet Square at the last KFNA Redevelopment Committee to solicit feedback from neighbors on different elements and style for the new development.  If you were not able to attend, please send in your preference and comments on the different possible designs to KFNA  at kfna@email.com  .  Your opinions will be taken into consideration as PCNF enters into the final design phase.  Submitting comments with your design choices can help us determine which elements the neighborhood really wants to see and help in creating a design that suites the widest audience of people

Kingfield’s
Business Façade Program (BFIP)

KFNA approved re-opening its successful 2000-2004 Business Façade Improvement Program (BFIP), targeted to improvements
to the exterior of neighborhood businesses, by moving $50,000 of grant money, available immediately, into the program.  The maximum grant available is $12,500; businesses that have not previously received a Kingfield BFIP Grant are eligible to apply.  Funds will be granted on a first-come/first-served basis until fully committed; proposals will be reviewed monthly by the KFNA Redevelopment Committee. Program Guidelines and Applications can be found on the Kingfield website at www.kingfield.org, or can be acquired by calling KFNA at 612.823.5980. 

In the past, BFIP funds have been used by businesses to replace storefront windows, tuck-point crumbling brick, paint worn-out facades, and put up lights and awnings. If you are a Kingfield business owner, whether leasing or owning the business property, and have questions regarding eligible projects, please call KFNA or contact staff via e-mail at
kfna@email.com.
