Businesses along a stretch of Main Street in Lexington can apply for $5,000 grants from the Town of Lexington to spruce up the exterior of their buildings.

Last year, the town awarded seven $5,000 grants in an effort to boost downtown revitalization. The first five grants that were awarded included ones to Rhoten's Country Store and the old Mae's on Main building.
