We Can Help You Improve Your Business Facade

This grant can help you increase the street appeal of your business. We use federal funding to help you improve your facade.

About This Program

Our Division created the Neighborhood Business Improvement Program, also known as NBIP. This program improves neighborhoods and the local economy by improving business facades.

The program focuses on helping you make new external changes to your building. We especially love painted murals! Other changes can include ADA accomodations and bringing internal building features up to City code.

We can give up to $50,000 as a grant to cover some or all costs for these changes. Businesses willing to cover some of the improvement costs may receive priority.
