Facade Grants for MSL District

These grants are available to both property owners and business owners. The goal of the grant program is to assist in the cost of improvements to the facades of our buildings in the MSL District. These improvements can include any part of the buildings that are visible from the streets or landscaping.

The funds are matching funds, so you spend $1,000 and get $500 back. The minimum project is $500. Download the forms here and contact us if you have any questions!

Trolley Rules and Regulations

The City of Laurens trolley is available for use by the public for weddings, events, transportation needs and other activities.

Once the trolley rental is confirmed, the renter must contact the driver with specifics about when, where etc to pick up and deliver the trolley. The RENTER will pay the driver the day of use, at the rate listed below and agreed on before rental confirmation.

The trolley does have heat for cool weather use. ALCOHOL AND SMOKING ARE STRICTLY PROHIBITED FROM USE ON THE TROLLEY. The driver has the right to refuse service the day of the event if renter, or anyone associated with the trolley use, is intoxicated or tries to bring alcohol onto the trolley.
