The Little Chute Village Board adopted a Design Manual primarily applicable within the Central Business District to create and retain the vision of a heritage destination in downtown Little Chute with an Old World European character.

The purpose of the Design Manual's requirements is to preserve, create, and promote the unique charm, atmosphere, and historical aspects of the community.  Attractive building facades support and encourage local business and can have a significant effect on the attractiveness and marketability of a commercial district and the surrounding area.

To encourage business owners to reinvest in downtown Little Chute and other commercial areas within the Village and to financially assist with implementing the requirements of the Little Chute Design Manual, the Village of Little Chute has created a Business Improvement/Facade Renovation Financial Assistance Program to assist in the exterior renovations of these otherwise sound and vital properties within the Village.
