City Improvement Programs
STOREFRONT Improvement Program
The Storefront Improvement Program encourages commercial building owners in Business Improvement Areas to invest in storefront renovations and storefront refreshment by providing matching grants to cover a portion of renovation costs.
This program is intended to:
- Make city streets a more inviting and interesting place to walk and shop
- Help building owners attract and retain tenants
- Build civic pride among the local business community
- Contribute to the quality of life of residents, workers, and visitors
- Improve the marketability of the local business area
Exterior improvements funded by the program help businesses make a better first impression, showcase merchandise and services, and attract new customers.
