So, you are finally planning on remodeling that basement, maybe adding a garage, you are in the renovation mode! Man, it sure would be nice to save a few bucks. Do you qualify for the Neighborhood Revitalization Program? Ottawa City Commissioner, Zach Clayton and Assistant City Planner Ashley Hird discuss what it take to qualify.
