A key aspect of improving the quality of life in a community is ensuring a strong and healthy economic climate. One of the ways we do this is by providing façade improvement grants  to local businesses to help revitalize buildings. The grants are intended to assist owners and occupants with updating or improving building facades, increasing curb appeal, and supporting the continued success of commercial operations. Expected outcomes include attracting patrons, creating job opportunities for residents, increasing the tax base, and supporting creation of other neighborhood amenities. By providing incentives for new and existing businesses and attracting providers of goods and services to available commercial spaces.
