Have you ever sat there watching an HGTV home renovation show and thought, “I can handle my house just fine, this WHOLE TOWN needs renovation!” Ok…most of you probably don’t have thoughts like that running through your head. My mindset is a tad awry. However, there will soon be a show on HGTV that proposes to go beyond the bounds of a home to renovate even more.

Small Town Takeover

HGTV is planning a spin off of Erin and Bill Napier’s hit series Home Town to renovate a community. They’ll be looking at renovating local single-family homes, parks, community centers and more.

“Renovating one house at a time is an awesome experience, but the chance to support an entire town, where we can help bring a community back to life and enhance the lives of the people who live and work there, is something we’ve always wanted to try,” said Ben through their press release. “You won’t believe what a small town with a shared renovation vision and the power of HGTV, Erin and me behind them can do. We’ve seen those changes in Laurel and we want to help another town do it too.”

One interesting rule stand out though. The community needs to have a population of 40,000 or fewer. This concentrates the show on rural communities, those who don’t typically get the attention that the larger communities typically receive. It also ties back to overall theme of “Home Town”.

Time is short though. HGTV is only accepting applications until February 4, 2020. You’ll need that much time to prepare your submission. There will be other quality submissions by communities who want HGTV to come just as much as your community. Your community will need to stand above those other submissions. Although submitting up to five images is allowed, submitting a video will likely be key to your community’s success. Much more can be expressed about your community’s desire and need through a video than a limited number of pictures.
