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, and
  • Perimeter properties
  • 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.

Limited funding is available. Therefore, some applications may not be approved due to limited funding.

Denison Commercial Historic Overlay District Façade Grant Program

Focused on projects in the Commercial Historic Overlay District (CHOD). Maintaining the City’s historical significance is supported by the Historic Preservation Board (HPB) which works to ensure projects meet established standards. The HPB application process is separate from the DDA Façade Grant consideration but HPB actions, decisions, and opinions will be taken into consideration in the Façade Grant Application Process. HPB approval is required for building permits. The grant application and support documents must be submitted to Denison Main Street and DDA prior to any work being initiated. Grant funding limit: up to $25,000 per building address, based on façade square footage.
