KANSAS CITY, Missouri – After completing exterior renovations to their business, Passantino Bros. Funeral Home received a $5,000 rebate check on Friday, September 23, from the Independence Avenue Community Improvement District (CID).

Passantino Bros. owner Charlie Passantino told the Northeast News that crews took roughly a month to complete work at several spots around the building’s exterior.

“Out front they repaired the wall and replaced the caps,” said Passantino of the funeral home’s east side entrance. “On the side of the building they had to go in and cut out some of the stone and replace it. Then we painted the whole building.”

The $5,000 CID check is part of the improvement district’s Storefront Improvement Rebate Program, which is open to any property owner within the Independence Avenue CID corridor. Those that qualify can receive a 50% reimbursement for improvement costs, with a maximum rebate of $5,000.
