Facade Grant Program
The Façade Grant Program can be used for projects such as enhancement of storefronts, brick repairs, accessibility, and other aspects that contribute to the beautification and maintenance of commercial and office buildings in Downtown Brantford. Applicants should note that this program is being coordinated with the Downtown BIA and its "Golden Broom Award".
The program has two components. The Façade Grant has a maximum value of $7,500. In addition, applicants can access a Design Grant for a maximum value of $2,000. The Design Grant is to assist applicants who require the services of an architect to prepare drawings, undertake a building condition report or structural assessment. Applicants can apply for the Design Grant in advance of the Façade Grant so that the project can be accurately presented and priced.
Property owners and tenants can apply to the program. Limited annual funds are available for worthwhile projects, which will be reviewed in March by the City’s Downtown Business Performance Grants Advisory Committee. If you are interested in the program, require assistance in developing your project proposal, and want to make an application please contact Mark Gladysz, Senior Planner-Projects, Planning Department at 519 -759-4150, ext. 2388.
