POCOMOKE 4TH FRIDAY EVENT!

DOWNTOWN BUILDING FAÇADE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM

Under this program, the City, pursuant to a Community Legacy Program Grant from the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD), will provide secured grant funds for property owners to improve building facades and interiors in the Downtown Business District or within the Pocomoke City Sustainable Communities Boundaries.  The City will also assist property owners in making needed improvements to their buildings so that they will be more attractive for new business start-ups.  This project represents a comprehensive approach to increasing the number of businesses in the downtown area as well as improving its appearance. Please email Downtown Coordinator, Karah Lacey, karah@pocomokemd.gov, for more information and application criteria.

Two Downtown Buildings Demolished

Demolition of the Lusby building and the old Dance Loft started late morning on February 22, 2019.  The City has contracted with Harry White of Pocomoke Recycling Co, Inc. to do the demolition and clean up of the 2 buildings. Unfortunately, these buildings were beyond reasonable and economical repair due to the neglect of upkeep. The City has made a hard commitment to address abandoned, dilapidated, and public safety buildings. The City is also committed to a revitalization effort to replace demolished buildings with more modern, attractive buildings that will blend in with the current Downtown appearance. The City will be presenting a conceptional drawing and plan in the very near future.
