Commercial Façade Improvement Programs - Small Business Anti-Displacement Network (SBAN) Commercial Façade Improvement Programs Commercial Façade Improvement Programs Drio Support 2025-09-08T15:25:00-04:00 Commercial facade improvement programs help small businesses and commercial property owners improve their building’s exterior and storefronts through financial incentives, such as matching grants and loans, tax abatements, and design assistance.
Programs focus on properties in both historic and non-historic areas. These programs can also help small businesses become more resilient to climate change and climate disasters. For example, programs can fund improvements to protect a small business before or during extreme climate events, such as hurricane shutters, solar panels, green roofs, and tempered glass windows.
Government or Public Agency Community-based or Nonprofit Organizations Commercial façade improvement programs are typically administered and staffed by municipal planning departments, community or economic development agencies, nonprofit organizations, or business improvement districts. Applications are often made available periodically to small business and property owners.
Funding can be provided as a matching grant or a loan and is allocated from various sources, most commonly federal and state community and economic development, housing, and revitalization grants. Funding is often paired with design assistance. Commercial façade improvements have the potential to increase sales soon after improvements are made, strengthening the local economy.
Increased sales may be sustained for several years, outpacing increases in local taxes. Nearby property owners and small business tenants may also see increased sales and be motivated to make property improvements, resulting in larger-scale street or neighborhood revitalization. Property improvements can also make small businesses more resilient to climate change and speed up disaster recovery.
Tenants must seek permission from property owners to apply for funding and are sometimes required to provide matching funds that many small businesses do not have. Programs commonly include a formal planning design review and approval process, and design options may be restricted or dictated by a historic district or municipal design standards.
Applicants may have to hire design professionals to ensure their applications follow these standards. Some program sponsors assist with the application process. Tool : Commercial Façade Improvement Programs The nonprofit LA-Más has [...]
