Storefront Renovation Rebate Program

Applications are now being accepted for the 2011 Storefront Renovation Rebate Program

The Storefront Renovation Rebate Program (SRRP) assists property owners and/or business tenants within the Urban County with making façade improvements and/or the correction of exterior code violations to their property.  These improvements lead to revitalized neighborhood commercial areas, elimination of blight and enhanced livability of surrounding neighborhoods. 

The Department of Development (DOD) realizes the value of actively working with community leaders, property owners and business tenants to reinvigorate Urban County communities.  Therefore, the SRRP offers property owners and business tenants a rebate for eligible costs associated with rehabilitating their storefronts.

Businesses interested in participating in the Storefront Renovation Rebate Program must obtain an application from the Economic Development Director in the community in which the business is located. 

Applications will be accepted until October 31, 2011.  The Economic Development Director will work with the applicant to meet city and program conditions that are required for a commitment of funds.  The Economic Development Director will notify applicant after DOD has approved the application.  

The complete guidelines and eligibility requirements can be obtained here.

Eligible communities are members of the Urban County.
