ROCHELLE – As part of its façade improvement program, the City of Rochelle awarded a longtime local business with the funds needed to improve the front of its building.
Bill’s Trading Post received a check in the amount of $5,000 Thursday that was used to pay for the tuck-pointing to the brick on the front of the building. Tuck-pointing is the process of taking the cement out from under the bricks, cleaning it and replacing it with a new color to improve the look of the building.
The city says that this façade improvement program is a great way to let businesses know that they are here to help.
“When a business is planning a project to improve their building, this is a nice way for us to say that we want to help you do this,” explained community development director Michelle Pease.
