Business Facade Improvement Program
Looking better all the time
The Business Façade Improvement Program was developed in partnership with the Northern Development Initiative Trust to support local businesses with renovating, refurbishing and improving their business exteriors.
The program provides businesses an opportunity not only to create a positive impression for people passing through and residing in our community, but also to encourage people to stop, shop, and explore the unique local businesses residing in Mackenzie’s commercial core as well as our residential areas.
Why Apply for the Business Facade Program?
Are you a business owner in Mackenzie that wants to improve your location's exterior? The Business Façade Improvement Program was created to support local businesses in an effort to renovate, refurbish and improve their business exteriors so that visitors to Mackenzie are encouraged to stop and create a positive impression for people passing through and residing in our community.
The opportunity for businesses to enhance and improve store fronts and streetscapes will encourage people to utilize the local business services, thereby increasing revenues for our business sector.
How Much Can You apply For?
The program will provide a reimbursement grant of up to a maximum of $5,000 per building/project to improve the exterior façades of downtown buildings.
Reimbursement grants of 50%, up to a maximum of $500, are available to home occupations for way-find signage on their property.
