Putting Money Where Our Mission Is
Any person(s) owning property in Erie Downtown Partnership’s boundaries is eligible to apply. Qualifying commercial properties include single-purpose retail and office buildings and mixed-use buildings containing combinations of retail, office, and residential apartments. If you are a merchant located in Erie Downtown’s defined area, but do not own the property from which you operate, you may still be eligible with the property owner’s consent.
Facade Grant Program
This grant is a reimbursement grant for improvements made to the exterior of a commercial building to include affixed signage, lighting, door and window replacement, awnings, masonry work, and painting. This reimbursement grant will fund up to $10,000 of an eligible and approved façade project and applicants must have a 1:1 match. Applications are received on a rolling basis and reviewed and approved by a façade review committee until funds are completely allocated.
