Local Owners Taking Advantage of Improvement Program


Several local business owners within the downtown area of St Paul are taking advantage of the Facade Improvement Program created by the St Paul Development Corporation. The program urges the improvement of the building's facade by providing a 50% cash match to be used towards eligible activities, with a cap of $5,000 per storefront.

To date, 5 applications have been approved by the City Council authorizing the funding of over $12,000 to be applied towards nearly $29,000 worth of building improvements.

The program, created by the St Paul Development Corporation, awards grants equal to one-half of the cost of eligible façade redevelopment activities such as window replacement, awning additions, painting, or other restoration of original architectural features to commercial property owners located within the redevelopment area of the City of St Paul.

To apply for the Facade Improvement Program, contact the St Paul Development Corporation.

I think they look real nice. I wish everyone would take advantage of the funding and do the same.
