Applications are now open for City of Newberry’s downtown façade grant program.
Donor Name: City of Newberry
State: South Carolina
City: Newberry
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 10/29/2022
Size of the Grant: $10,000
Details:
Among the now 50 completed façades, projects have ranged from total and complete façade renovations to new windows, awnings, small projects, and some locations completing multiple projects at once.
Wicker said the city was excited to offer five façade improvement grants for the upcoming fiscal year.
Funding Information
Qualifying projects are eligible for a grant match of up to 90%, with a maximum grant award of $9,000. If an applicant’s project is exactly $10,000, they would qualify for a grant match of 90%, meaning the city would reimburse them $9,000 based on that expense. However, this does not mean projects are capped at $10,000, as applicants are encouraged to leverage their grant funds to get the most from their investment.
Eligibility Criteria
- To be eligible for the grant, you must be the owner or tenant of a business or commercial building located within either the Newberry Historic District or Main Street Historic District. Any tenant must have the owner’s written permission attached to the application.
- Grants are not available for residential property and only one grant is available per location, per year. For those that have already taken advantage of the program, there is a three-year waiting period before being able to apply again.
