The City of the Dalles is now taking application for its Sidewalk Rehabilitation Cost-Share Program.  The purpose of the program is to help property owners rehabilitate deteriorated sidewalks that are their responsibility, with grants of 50 to 80 percent of the project cost available, depending on the type of property and the income level of the owner.  The City will consider applications for the rehabilitation or replacement of existing sidewalks as well as new sidewalks as part of a commercial redevelopment project.  New sidewalks required for an approved building permit on a new or undeveloped lot are not eligible.  Applicants for this program must be the property owner or authorized developer.  Eligible projects must be completed by June 30, 2024.  Applications will be funded on a first come, first eligible basis until funds run out.  Property owners can download an application from the City website at thedalles.org, or call (541) 296-5401 to ask for a paper copy.
