Bill > SB1834

This bill establishes the Oklahoma Main Street Revitalization Grant Program and a dedicated revolving fund to support it. The "Oklahoma Main Street Revitalization Revolving Fund" will be managed by the Oklahoma Department of Commerce and will receive funds designated by law, which can be used to match contributions from grant program applicants. The grant program itself, also managed by the Department of Commerce, will provide funding for projects aimed at improving the quality of life in certified Main Street communities. These projects can include investments in building facades, landscaping, public amenities like lighting and sidewalks, public art, and infrastructure that supports downtown living and real estate access. The Oklahoma Department of Commerce Board will create rules to ensure fair distribution of these grants, potentially prioritizing new applicants over those who have received funds before, treating related entities as a single applicant, and setting application periods. This act will take effect on November 1, 2026.
