BANGOR, Maine — History can sometimes fade, and beauty can diminish.
Reversing those two realities is what's behind a federal grant program to repair and restore part of Maine's history: the older historic buildings.
The Façade Improvement Grant Program helps businesses restore the character of a historic building. The funds have to be used to renovate the exterior of a building or storefront in designated Bangor areas.
