The Kansas Department of Commerce launched the Downtown Revive & Thrive: Rehabilitation for Innovation and Incubator Spaces program. Commerce seeks proposals to revitalize underutilized or historic buildings by transforming them into accessible, modern and sustainable workspaces. There is a total of $500,000 available in funding for Kansas communities with populations of 5,000 or less for projects that result in functional business incubator spaces or facilities designed for temporary retail or restaurant operations.
