Financial Incentives
Revitalization Loan Programs
The Zanesville Downtown Housing and Property Loan Fund
Both programs are sponsored by the Zanesville Downtown Association, 205 N. Fifth St., Zanesville, Ohio 43701, Phone (740) 454-8782 Fax (740) 454-2963.
The Revitalization Loan Program is designed to stimulate quality re-investment in the Downtown, by offering Low-Interest Financing to encourage new construction and the renovation and adaptive reuse of many of our older buildings.
The purpose of the program is to provide assistance to current and new property owners, small business owners, and downtown merchants in improving their property in a manner that is both commercially sound and architecturally attractive.
The Zanesville Downtown Housing and Property Loan Funds are targeted for properties for retail, office building, rental apartments, and mixed residential use.
