Funding
Opportunities, Education and Mentoring
Historic Preservation and Economic Development are priorities of the
Leavenworth Main Street Program. We offer many avenues for business
support including gap funding opportunities.
It’s important that your business is successful and grows and
prospers in beautiful, historic downtown Leavenworth. Within
these efforts, many opportunities are afforded to our business
members. The Leavenworth Main Street office should be your
first point of contact when you are considering starting a business,
leasing or purchasing a building, expanding or relocating your
business and projects that could utilize gap financing to stretch
your private investment.
