The Program is set up as a single payment reimbursement to property owners per building/business. Facade grants are available with a minimum project value of $2,000 and a maximum reimbursement of $50,000 per grant unless otherwise approved by the City Council. Since the Program’s inception, twenty-one grants have been approved.
