CONDITIONS OF SERVICE

  • Rethos Main Streets: Minnesota Design Consultation is available to Designated or Network Rethos Main Streets: Minnesota communities. We ask that applicants completing construction projects based on design assistance concepts share final project costs, information, and photographs with the Rethos Main Streets: Minnesota program. This information will be helpful in future project cost estimating, planning, and promoting successful outcomes.
  • Any drawings that are provided to the applicant are for illustrative purposes only and are not for construction. Design services by Rethos Main Streets: Minnesota are artist renderings and do not take the place of services provided by a registered architect. Rethos Main Streets: Minnesota Design Consultation provides preservation-based recommendations that follow the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation as developed by the National Park Service.  
  • Rethos Main Streets: Minnesota is not responsible for the non-discovery of any defects in material, workmanship, or other conditions of the property. The property owner/applicant should consult with licensed professionals before embarking on any of the design ideas illustrated.  
  • Rethos Main Streets: Minnesota Design Assistance does not guarantee approval nor does it constitute formal comment of a project under either the state or federal rehabilitation tax credit review process, does not fulfill review requirements pursuant to Minnesota state statute 138 or section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, and does not supplant local review authority.
