- Commercial Sign & Facade Grant
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.
The program provides a 50% matching grant for reimbursement of approved projects for the following amounts:
COMMERCIAL SIGN PROGRAM GRANT AMOUNTS | Required Applicant Match | Overall Project Total | |
Grant Minimum | $250 | $250 | $500 |
Grant Maximum | $1,500 | $1,500 | $3,000 |
FAÇADE PROGRAM GRANT AMOUNTS | Required Applicant Match | Overall Project Total | |
Grant Minimum | $2,500 | $2,500 | $5,000 |
Grant Maximum | $7,500 | $7,500 | $15,000 |
Each grant require a 1:1 match from the applicant. Example: a $2,500 grant would require a $2,500 investment from the applicant for a total project investment of $5,000.
