The Brush Up BC (Barton County) program assisted with their first house
exterior makeover last September. Great Bend Economic Development Director Sara
Arnberger said there are three more houses scheduled to be completed this
month. The program provides paint and supplies to citizens to paint the outside
of their homes.
"Applications are accepted at any time," said Arnberger. "This is our paint grant program. So if you need the exterior of your home fixed up, you can find details of the program online. Applications can be found there as well."
Those financially and/or physically unable to get their house painted can apply for
the program in Barton County. To be eligible, a single-person household must have an income of $36,360 or less. If approved, houses must be painted within
90 days of approval. Economic Development assists in organizing a group of
volunteers, if needed, to help paint the houses with supplies provided through
the exterior home assistance program.
The application form can be found at gbedinc.com.
