People often associate The Partnership with large development projects, like the transformation of Center Plaza or the Pratt Street redesign. But we also have programs to help the little guy. Our Facade Improvement Program (FIP), for example, has been used by dozens of smaller commercial properties to fix up the front of their building.The process works like this: You apply and, if accepted in to the FIP, we team you up with a team of engineers/architects who help out with the redesign (everything from structural elements to color scheme, to signage). In addition to the design help, you are eligible for a matching grant of up to $20,000. Here are "before" and "after" shots of a property that went through the program.
So, to recap... get accepted to the FIP and we'll match the money you put into the project up to $20,000. Plus, you get free design help on the front end. Not a bad deal.
