The ANA is proud to announce that two Armatage businesses were awarded Great Streets Facade Grants.

Bellwether Media (now Jump!), at 54th and Penn, provides attractive, accessible and engaging quality-bound books for libraries and classrooms. They used their grant to replace the old and drafty front windows.

Red Wagon Pizza, also at 54th and Penn, used their grant for their new front windows.

Neighborhood business districts are essential elements of any great city. Our neighborhood is no different. Neighborhood businesses provide important goods and services for residents, contribute to high quality urban living, and are critical to the health of the local economy.
