Charleston Main Streets is proud to announce the relaunch of the very popular Facade Activation Grant Program, made possible through a grant from the Truist Foundation and matching funds from the Charleston Urban Renewal Authority. This program, last active in 2017, provides direct assistance to business and commercial property owners in Charleston’s East End, Downtown, and West Side urban districts.

Since its inception in 2006, the Facade Activation Grant Program has helped leveraged millions of dollars in private investment through storefront and property restorations. This dollar for dollar matching program encourages property owners to reinvest in their buildings and businesses all while aesthetically enhancing the business districts wherein they operate.

Application deadlines are March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31.
