Officials Await Grant Funding For Farley’s Oldest Building

Officials in Farley hope to secure grant funding to renovate the community’s oldest building later this year. The City of Farley and the Farley Industrial Development Corp. are applying for two state grants that would go toward work on the former Loomis Hotel building on First Street North. George Davis, the president of Farley Industrial Development Corporation says there’s been interest in the town to try to renovate that building before it gets to the point where it can’t be renovated. The Loomis building was constructed in 1897 and originally functioned as a hotel for travelers. The building currently has apartments on the second floor.
