Commercial Facade Grant

CRA staff will review the applicant’s conceptual plans in an informal setting, including discussion of the eligibility criteria, Program requirements, proposed project scheduling, and consistency of the proposal with the intent of the Program. At this stage, staff can offer assistance with the completion of the application form and provide limited technical and architectural guidance on the project proposal. At the conclusion of the pre-application meeting, staff will provide the applicant with a general determination as to whether the proposed project is likely to qualify to receive Program funds and whether the applicant is sufficiently prepared to move on to the application stage.
