Moorhead residents can apply to help make repairs and improvements with a low interest rate.

Beginning March 16 and running through October 31, Gate City Bank will once again partner with the City of Moorhead to revitalize mature neighborhoods, helping local homeowners make repairs and improvements with a low interest rate.

Program funds may be used to address code and structural issues, improve energy efficiency and make general property improvements. Applicants must be the owner-occupant of the home and meet credit requirements. Qualifying projects for the bank’s home improvement programs range from patio additions and new garages to safety repairs like furnace replacements and accessibility adjustments. Funds may also be used to address code and structural corrections, energy improvements and general property upgrades.

Congratulations to Sydni Kreps! On Monday, February 9, the Moorhead City Council and Mayor Shelly Carlson presented her with the MoorHeart award.
