FP Launches the Commercial Façade Grant  

 

 

The Fort Pierce Redevelopment Agency (FPRA) is excited to announce the launch of the Commercial Façade Grant program. This program will be available for application during three different periods throughout the fiscal year. The first application period will be open from Tuesday, October 17, 2023, until Friday, November 17, 2023.

This grant program offers financial assistance in the form of a reimbursable grant, matching 50% of eligible expenses, up to a maximum of $25,000. To be eligible for this grant, the property in question must be located within the FPRA District and must be commercially zoned.

The primary goal of the Commercial Façade Grant Program is to contribute to the revitalization of the commercial corridors within the FPRA district. It aims to achieve this by encouraging private investment in improvements that enhance the appearance of buildings and properties, thus eliminating blight and non-conforming design standards. The ultimate aim of this program is to stimulate redevelopment in the FPRA, leading to improved visual aesthetics, increased property values, higher tenant occupancy, economic development, and job creation.

It’s important to note that this reimbursable grant program will also be available for application in March and June of 2024.
