Successful projects will strive to make visible improvements to the curb appeal, design and functionality of the business and may include:

  • Upgrades to windows and doorways that create a more inviting entryway from the street.

  • Interior improvements to enhance the visual appeal and functionality that will enrich the overall customer experience.

  • Coordinating façade improvements with neighbouring buildings to maintain the unique characteristics of the local business area.

  • Undertaking general exterior cleaning of the building, repainting faded and peeling paint, repairing damaged areas, and restoring unique architectural features.
