The City of Foley is Investing in Downtown Improvements 

The City of Foley recently shared the results of its façade improvement grant that helped downtown businesses improve their exteriors. Companies along Main Street and the downtown district repainted their storefronts, installed flowerpots, and made repairs. These efforts make individual businesses more inviting to customers while attracting people from other parts of the region to Foley.

In 2025, the City of Foley allocated an additional $20,000 in funds for the grant, which can support future growth. This grant program was developed with support from the Benton Economic Partnership, Inc.

Foley has a beautiful downtown district, and these improvements further showcase its charm and the valuable businesses operating there.
