Facade Grant

The Façade Grant Program includes façade improvements for properties in Central Huron that are assessed as Commercial. The Municipality has set aside funds to help assist property owners in the expansion or improvement of the building façade or signage. The goal of the program is to enhance the appearance of commercial businesses and by doing so refresh the sense of pride within the community. 

To qualify

The structure for the proposed enhancement must be within Central Huron and must be designated as Commercial in the Central Huron Official Plan. The proposed façade improvement must meet the specific property criteria outlined in the Façade Improvement Program Guidelines, and its purpose is to improve and enhance the 'cosmetic' appeal of the structure from a streetscape viewpoint. The application must be completed in its entirety and must receive approval prior to the completion of the works. It is understood that the applicant will be reimbursed the grant amount following the completion of the works and submission of all project receipts. Before you submit an application, please ensure you have read the policy and procedures.
