Today the City of Reno announced the second round of awardees in ReStore Reno, an initiative aimed to reinvigorate and reignite the downtown area by offering matching grants to property owners and business tenants for facade improvements and interior upgrades. Between the two rounds of funding, nearly $1,050,000 have been invested into the program.
The announcement was made at Birdeez, at 151 North Sierra, a soon-to-be entertainment complex that will feature cutting edge indoor golf, state=of-the-art darts, a full kitchen, restaurant, and more. Check out some preview construction pics below, along with pics of the event.
