Summary

Regional grant to help property owners, small businesses, and community partners invest in improvements that enhance the character, economic vitality, and usability. The intent of the funding is to reduce barriers to investment, encourage building upgrades, and create an attractive environment where businesses can thrive and residents can enjoy improved public spaces.


Eligible applicants generally include small business owners, property owners with commercial or mixed‑use buildings, and sometimes nonprofit organizations engaged in activities that support community heritage or public benefit. These grants are not focused on individual consumers without business or property responsibilities, but rather on entities that contribute to the physical or economic fabric of the downtown district.


Award amounts for individual projects typically range from about $25,000 to $100,000, helping cover a substantial portion of costs for improvements such as façade renovations, interior work that activates upper‑story residential space, structural enhancements, or other upgrades that make buildings more functional, appealing, and economically viable. Projects can be used to preserve historic features while adapting spaces for new uses, stimulate private investment, and support the growth of local commerce within the targeted area.


By providing partial cost coverage and encouraging investment, the grant helps recipients undertake improvements they might otherwise delay or forego due to financial constraints. The broader goal of this funding is to support downtown revitalization, strengthen local economic activity, preserve historic character, and enhance the overall quality of life for residents and visitors. Participation in this program connects small businesses and property owners with resources that can lead to sustainable community development.
