Community Activation Grants

City Council approved a community activation grant application for Freedom Fest. The grant was requested by Historic Mansfield Performance Park and the Historic Mansfield Business Association, for a free family music and art festival celebrating community unity and honoring first responders, police, fire, and military on Sunday, September 11 at the LOT Downtown.

Historic Restorations

City Council approved a facade restoration improvement grant for the Denis Mahoney building in Historic Downtown Mansfield. This historic property was built by Dennis Mahoney in 1890, and became occupied in 1895.

One side of the building was the Dukes and Poe hardware store, and the other was the Maple Drug Store. After a series of owners, it was bought by Troy and Leslie Dorsey in 1999, and they opened Dorsey Karate.

BCB Transportation began renovations of the building commonly known as Troy Dorsey Karate over the summer.
