"The funding is allocated across three programs: the Commercial Facade Improvement Grant (CFIG) received $100,000, the Commercial Buildout Improvement Grant (CBIG) received $75,000, and the Marketing and Digital Connectivity Grant (MDCG) received $25,000. These grants aim to enhance storefronts, improve building interiors, and boost digital marketing efforts for businesses in downtown Decatur. "The success of this program over the last two years has proven that demand remains high and our local business owners are committed to continuous improvement," said Conor McNally, DDA chair."
"The majority of the new funding is for the CFIG program, which supports projects focused on enhancing and beautifying storefronts and awnings. The CBIG aims to reinforce the interior of commercial buildings in downtown Decatur, especially retail shops, restaurants, bakeries, and breweries, by repairing walls, constructing new internal spaces, or making HVAC repairs and upgrades. The MDCG helps restaurant and small business owners upgrade their online presence through the design and production of marketing materials and content for digital platforms."
