Beautification Grant Program
$6,000
Grant
Description:
The purpose of the Urban Beautification Program Old North End Pilot is to provide incentives for
people living in the Old North End to invest in the beautification of the façades of their homes
and small businesses, or the landscaping of their front yards. Increased reinvestment in the
facades and front yards of properties coordinated with community enhancement and
enforcement will result in a more desirable streetscape. The Program prioritizes transformative
projects which seek to restore original character elements or use high quality materials and well
accepted design practice to revitalize facades. As part of the Old North End Pilot Program,
incentives will remain available in the Central Peninsula for a transition period.
Comments on Funding:
The grant offers 35% of the cost of improving exterior front facades and yards up to a maximum of $4,000, or $6,000 for corner lots.
