MIRA’S FACADE IMPROVEMENT GRANT PROGRAM IN ACTION
The Facade Grants Program provides a financial incentive award to commercial property owners by leveraging their investment in the facade redevelopment of their properties. With the availability of matching funds through this program, the improvements reduce blight, have a positive visual impact on the community, and thereby increase the economic benefit to the Merritt Island Redevelopment Area.
Grant Award Opportunities:
- Standard Incentive Award: Fifty percent match of funds for Incentive Awards up to $10,000
- Qualifying Area Incentive Award: Fifty percent match of funds for Incentive Awards up to $25,000
