Storefront Improvement Program

The Storefront Improvement Program reimburses businesses and property owners for 50% of the cost of improvements they make to their storefronts (up to $10,000 for single address properties and $15,000 for multiple-address and corner properties).  Since 2008, N5SRP has helped over 12 North 5th Street businesses take advantage of SIP to give their business a facelift and increase business revenue. You must submit an application through N5SRP and receive City approval before making any improvements for reimbursement. Be the next business to take advantage of SIP by contacting N5SRP today!
