Facade Improvement Grants
These grants specifically target visible exterior enhancements on storefronts, commercial structures, and commercial residential buildings situated within the Downtown Development District.
Eligible Area: Downtown Development District
How It Works: Facade grants are available on a 50/50 matching basis with a cap of $10,000 per facade facing a public street or alley (maximum two facades eligible per application).
Eligible Costs: See application packet.
Eligible Buildings: The grants are mostly limited to commercial buildings in the Downtown Development District, although in certain situations buildings with tenant may be eligible.
Total Program Budget: Each year, the Belton City Council allocates a limited amount of funds (typically between $50,000 and $150,000) toward Facade Improvement Grants, enough to support anywhere from 3 to 15 separate projects.
