FLIP, or Facades of Louisburg Improvement Program, provides matching funds from the city to assist in facade improvements. New for 2021 is a change in the appraised value of a residential home to $197,750 from $175,000. Under FLIP Residential provides residents a one-time reimbursement grant of 50% of the project costs. However, the city’s reimbursable amount shall not exceed $500. For example, if your project costs $500 then the reimbursable amount will be $250; a $750 project will award $375 and a $1,000 project will earn you the full $500 allowed. Eligible projects include concrete work such as a new driveway, stoop or sidewalk or foundation repair, exterior window or door replacement, painting, siding or roofing, landscaping or lighting.
