Decatur’s Business Facade Program Accepting Applications

Decatur commercial businesses and property owners can now apply for the city’s business façade program. The grant opportunity is designed to help eligible applicants complete qualified exterior improvements to their buildings. The program focuses on the façade — the front face of a building, usually facing the street, with windows and the main entrance. City leaders say the effort supports stronger curb appeal, revitalized business corridors, and continued investment in local commercial areas. Property owners and business operators interested in rehabilitation work are encouraged to review eligibility requirements and submit applications while the program is accepting them.
