Hard copy applications approved by the city Historic Commission are due April 2 to the DMI Office at 1050 Central Ave., second floor, to the attention of the DMI executive director.
On April 11, the DMI Design Committee will review all submitted applications. Grant awards will be announced by DMI on April 16.
