Commercial Sign & Façade Grant

Summary

The goal of the Commercial Sign & Façade Grant Program is to provide an incentive to businesses and property owners to enhance their building’s presentation to the public with improved storefront designs and other façade elements to contribute to the overall enhancement of the City Center. The City also recognizes attractive signage is an important part of running a successful business, and if done right, may assist in building brand visibility and increasing customer awareness. This program is subject to funding availability and is on a first-come, first-served basis. All projects must pertain to commercial or mixed-use buildings.
