Stat. 2685, approved December 16, 2003); and the Omnibus Appropriations 
Act, 2009 (Pub. L. 111-8, approved March 11, 2009). The purpose of the

preserve historic or traditional architecture or design features in 
Main Street areas; (3) enhance economic development efforts in Main 
Street areas; and (4) provide affordable housing in Main Street areas.
    On November 11, 2009, HUD posted its FY2009 Main Street Grants 
program NOFA to Grants.gov. This made approximately $4 million in 
assistance available for the competition. Prior to the application due 
date, the Department added $1.5 million to the competition from 
assistance appropriated by the Department of Housing and Urban 
Development Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010 (Pub. L. 111-117 
approved December 16, 2009). The Department reviewed, evaluated and 
scored the applications received based on the criteria in the FY2009 
NOFA. As a result, HUD has funded the applications announced in 
Appendix A, and in accordance with section 102(a)(4)(C) of the
