Improvement Grant

MMDC Improvement Grants offer up to $25K per project for a variety of improvements for commercial, mixed-use, and multi-family residential property. 

Both tenants and property owners are eligible for up to $12,500/per to assist in the development and completion of projects. 

Eligible activities include:

o Signage

o Lighting

o Fencing 

o Sidewalk repairs

o General façade (painting, tuck pointing, etc.)

o Tenant build-out

o Public art

On average, grant awards are typically $10K - $15K per project between both potential tenant and property owner awards.

Additional weight is given to projects with stated goals to enhance the community and vitality of the District. This can be expressed through plans for residential, commercial and/or mixed-use projects that add density to the District; that activate the public realm through designs that accommodate walkability and mobility; that create community through the development of third places and/or shared spaces; that can create jobs and are mindful of sustainable development practices.
