Stimulating the physical, economic, and cultural vitality of downtown Waukegan through community and business partnerships.

In 2006 we expanded the scope of our successful SLAP initiative to include matching funds for facade improvements in addition to funding for sign, lighting and awning projects.

Our current SLAP bank partners are:

• Associated Bank
• First Midwest Bank
• Fifth Third Bank
• NorStates Bank,
• North Shore Trust and Savings
• Waukegan Savings

Downtown property owners or businesses apply to the Design Committee for matching funds for covered projects. The Design Committee approval process ensures that the project conforms to our design standards.

Since 2004 the Sign, Lighting and Awning Program (SLAP) has made over $90,000 in exterior improvements possible in downtown Waukegan by offering 50% matching funds to downtown property owners and businesses.
