Governor Laura Kelly today announced the recipients of the fall 2022 Historic Economic Asset Lifeline (HEAL) grants. A total of 15 projects from across the state are receiving almost $773,000 in matching grant funds. HEAL was created in 2021 as a partnership between the Patterson Family Foundation and the Department of Commerce. The HEAL program provides grant funding to assist communities in revitalizing underutilized and dilapidated downtown buildings and turning them into economic drivers in the community. The first round of HEAL grants resulted in 32 commercial buildings being rehabilitated. Interest in the program remains strong. A total of 30 applications were received during the latest HEAL grant round.
