Façade Grant Program
Façade grants assist building owners in improving the appearance of their business.
All Façade Grant Programs are incentive matching (50/50) grant programs funded by the Denison Development Alliance (DDA) to improve the appearance of buildings that are in highly visible areas as defined by the Denison Development Alliance and to encourage quality design. Façade Grants are designated to assist in three areas, each with unique requirements and qualifications:
- Gateway properties,
- Perimeter properties, and
- Commercial Historic Overlay District (CHOD).
Any retail, non-profit, or commercial building/business owner within the designated program areas (see map) is eligible to apply. The grant application and support documents must be submitted prior to any work being initiated.
Denison Perimeter Façade Grant Program
Focused on projects along designated "Perimeter" areas adjacent to Downtown Denison. The grant application and support documents must be submitted to the DDA for review prior to any work being initiated. Grant funding limit is up to $25,000 per building address along the "Perimeter" based on façade square footage.
