Paint Grant Program

The City of Deadwood, South Dakota, is designated as a National Historic Landmark and is listed on both the National and State Registers of Historic Places.  The Deadwood Historic Preservation Commission recognizes pride of ownership is a valuable resource and improves the quality of life in this community.  With this in mind, the Historic Preservation Commission has established the Paint Grant Program to inspire property maintenance and improvement of Deadwood’s historic neighborhoods and commercial district.  Use of the Paint Grant Program is expected to preserve and protect Deadwood’s historic resources and make the City more attractive for residents, business owners and visitors alike. Additional funding may be available to assist in painting labor costs through the Main Street Initiative Program.  Contact the Director of Economic Development at director@deadwoodleadedc.com or 319 540-0083 for more information.
