The City of Balch Springs Economic Development is now accepting applications for Commercial Façade Grants for the Fiscal Year 2020-2021. There are limited funds and is on a first come first serve basis.
The purpose of the Façade & Infrastructure Program is to improve the visual appearance and economic vitality of Balch Springs by encouraging the exterior improvement of commercial, retail and office structures. The goal is to improve safety and make the place of business look more aesthetically appealing to the community, residents and visitors to the area. The improvements by existing businesses may act as a catalyst for widespread revitalization throughout the community.
The program is a matching reimbursement grant up to $5,000.00 designed for Façade & Infrastructure Improvement. Improvements eligible for funding include, but are not limited to, the following items: façade rehabilitation, exterior treatments such as brick, tile, stucco, stone, wood or siding, canopies and window awnings.
