Business Improvement Program

Please note: funding for the Business Improvement Program for 2024 is fully allocated. We are not accepting applications at this time.

The Business Improvement Program gives an incentive to local business owners to improve their business facade and appearances, transforming places into spaces where people want to spend time.

The program grants 50% to approved improvement costs, to a maximum of $20,000.

General Program Guidelines
