AMARILLO, Texas (KFDA) - Polk Streetâs historic Marizon building received a $20,000 facade grant from Center City Amarillo to improve the buildingâs exterior and enhance curb appeal.
This matching grant awards businesses for upgrading their curb appeal and making downtown Amarillo more welcoming.
âCurb appeal is really important for that welcoming appearance. I think if you were moving to our city you would drive downtown and think these groups are investing in our downtown and they are investing in the future,â said Beth Duke, executive director of Center City Amarillo. âThe city continues to thrive. We want [our] downtown to be a place people want to move.â

Since Center City of Amarillo began, numerous buildings within its boundaries railroad tracks to the east and north, Washington/Adams Street to the west, and I-40 to the south have participated in its Façade Grant program, improving the appearance of the exterior of a particular building or business.
