FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) - If downtown area Fort Wayne business owners want to upgrade their store fronts, there's more grant money available for that now.
 

The City of Fort Wayne made that announcement Tuesday afternoon in front of Hyde Brothers Booksellers on Wells Street.

Why there? Because that bookstore used the first round of grant money to upgrade its storefront.

Hyde Brothers used a $20,000 matching grant to upgrade the building and add a mural based on Fort Wayne's history to the exterior.

A total of $200,000 in more commercial facade grants is now available from the city.
