Facade Improvement Programs
Despite the City providing a Facade Improvement Grant offering a 50% match on renovations, our downtown buildings still need attention. The program offers up to $10,000 per facade and $1,000 per sign, but since 2009 these incentives have not worked fast enough.
Barriers facing property owners:
- High upfront costs
- Complex application process
- Limited contractor availability
How we are improving this:
- Community-driven project prioritization
- Local investor matching
- Grant writing assistance
- Start-to-finish project management
Participate!
Participate by voting to prioritize the facades we should focus on, add a property, or contact us to get involved.

Provide local capital
Although the city has a grant program for funding half the cost of facade improvements, property owners are not incentivized enough to participate. We need to change that.
