(Dillsboro, Ind.) - The Town of Dillsboro is inviting qualified developers, entrepreneurs, and community partners to submit proposals for the redevelopment of 12916 North Street, a historic circa-1890 property located in the heart of downtown.

Proposals should include a redevelopment vision, scope of rehabilitation, project timeline, funding plan, and explanation of community benefits. Submissions will be evaluated on the quality and feasibility of the plan, alignment with community goals, financial capacity, and long-term impact on downtown vitality.

The deadline to submit proposals is October 31, 2025, at 2:00 PM. Interested parties may arrange property inspections through the Town Manager’s office until October 17, 2025.
