Revitalization Grants for Commercial Buildings in the Abbeville Main Street District

The Abbeville Main Street Program is excited to share that our partnership with the Louisiana Main Street Program has opened new opportunities for our community. The Louisiana Main Street Program has been awarded $749,000 for the rehabilitation and revitalization of commercial buildings around the state. Grant awards of $55,000 each will be given to owners or tenants of historic buildings located within officially designated Louisiana Main Street districts. That means Abbeville!

To qualify, buildings must be in a Main Street district in communities with populations under 50,000 and must be listed on or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. All projects must meet The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. The submission deadline is August 31, 2024.

Utility Customer Warning:
Third Party Payment Site

We have identified a website that falsely claims to be an official online payment portal for the City of Abbeville. Please be aware that if you choose to use a third-party website like Doxo.com to pay your utility bills there is a delay in receipt of the payment to your account. This delay could lead to late fees and disconnection of your utility services. We do not endorse Doxo.com or its affiliates and cannot waive additional charges or issues caused by using their service.

We strongly recommend using the City of Abbeville’s official payment portal for online transactions.
