The program promotes economic development and stimulate business opportunities through a public-private partnership that offers economic incentives for the renovation, restoration, and preservation of the exterior of commercial and mixed used properties throughout many of the commercial areas in the City of Bath. The goals of the Façade Improvement Grant Program are to:

• Increase the economic vitality and encourage private investment within core commercial zones
• Enhance the appearance of the streetscape in the downtown area and along the commercial corridor into the city
• Strengthen or restore the original character of historic buildings
• Allow for expanded commercial opportunities
• Act as a catalyst for continued investment and upkeep in commercial and mixed used properties within the city

All applications will be reviewed for program eligibility and funding by city staff. Eligible applications will then be forwarded to the Economic Development Committee for review.
