Construction Mitigation Grant Program
Salt Lake City is upgrading roads and infrastructure to support long-term economic growth. While these projects bring future benefits, they can temporarily impact nearby small businesses by limiting parking, changing traffic patterns, or reducing foot traffic.
The Construction Mitigation Grant provides up to $3,000 per business to help cover business marketing costs during construction. The grant is easy to apply for, quick to receive, and does not need to be repaid.
Funds may be used to:
- Offset business costs during construction-related hardship.
- Support marketing and outreach to let customers know the business is still open.
Who Can Apply
Eligible businesses must:
- Be a small, independent business or nonprofit with fewer than 50 employees.
- Operate from a brick-and-mortar location (retail, restaurant, or bar) within Salt Lake City limits with a valid business license.
- Be directly on or within one-half block of an active construction site.
- Show financial hardship due to construction (loss of foot traffic, reduced access, or other disruption).
- Provide proof of business activity (profit & loss statements).
Note: Owners do not need to live in Salt Lake City.
