Barton County renews Facade Improvement Grant program 

Another Round II Façade Improvement Grant Project has been completed. With $20,000.00 awarded earlier this year, the Miller’s of Claflin building at 220 Main, Claflin, has been improved. <br><br>Barton County Commission Chairman Shawn Hutchinson said it was incredible to partner on this particular project as Miller’s provided an almost 50% match. With the new façade, the Millers building stayed in character with the rest of their storefronts and honors the passing of co-owner Bill Miller. As fourth-generation owners, he and brother Brad Miller, along with the current generation of Millers, make sure that storefronts represent businesses from Claflin’s past.
