The Boosting Business Blocks (BBB) Grant is designed to help business associations and groups of businesses enhance their commercial districts and support the businesses within them. The grant offers financial assistance by reimbursing project costs once the project is completed. Each approved project can receive up to $7,000 in funding, and the grant is non-taxable.
The grant can be used for a variety of projects, including:
Beautifying commercial areas by installing flowers, murals, or public art.
Celebrating the district’s unique character with banners, flags, or signage.
Attracting visitors through special or seasonal events.
Revitalizing underutilized spaces with pop-up events or activities.
Supporting businesses by creating digital platforms or websites that make it easier for customers to shop online.
Providing business training to help businesses grow and collaborate.
This is a valuable opportunity for groups of businesses to invest in their local area and attract more visitors and customers, while also supporting their collective growth. The BBB grant operates on a reimbursement basis, meaning expenses must be paid upfront, and the grant funds will be reimbursed after the project is completed.
