Some programs provide resources to help maintain or improve older buildings and structures, particularly in areas looking to enhance their community character or economic vitality. Eligible applicants can include nonprofit organizations, local governments, and occasionally private entities. Awards can vary in size, and some projects may require contributions from the applicant. These programs usually operate on a yearly schedule, allowing communities to plan and submit applications within a set timeframe.


Other funding opportunities focus on preparing sites for business or community use, helping attract investment and encourage growth. These grants may be used for infrastructure, planning, or other improvements that make sites ready for future use. Eligible applicants can include public entities, nonprofit groups, or partnerships, with funding levels varying based on project size and type. Contributions from applicants are sometimes required, and programs often run multiple rounds annually.
