Facade Improvement Grants

The Facade Grant Program was launched to revitalize Sweetwater’s downtown district by assisting property owners in renovating and restoring the exteriors of their commercial buildings. This initiative aims to enhance the visual appeal and functionality of downtown properties, making the area more attractive to both businesses and visitors.

The program provides financial assistance to property owners looking to improve their building’s exterior signage, lighting, and overall facade. Specifically, it offers a 50% reimbursement, up to $15,000, for well-designed improvements that bring new life to storefronts. These enhancements are intended to not only boost the aesthetics of individual properties but also contribute to a more vibrant and cohesive downtown environment.

By encouraging investment in the exterior appearance of buildings, the Facade Grant Program plays a crucial role in the ongoing revitalization of Sweetwater’s downtown area. The program fosters a more inviting atmosphere that benefits both the local economy and the community at large.
