Carroll County Growth Partnership (CCGP) is excited to announce the opening of the application window for its second round of $1,000 Micro-Facade Grants. This initiative aims to enhance the aesthetic appeal of local businesses and promote economic vitality throughout Carroll County.

CCGP will be accepting applications until November 15. Four grants will be awarded, with a commitment to support at least one business located in a town outside of Carroll. These grants are designed for private, for-profit, brick-and-mortar businesses looking to improve their storefronts through various facade enhancements.

Eligible improvements include, but are not limited to, painting, signage, windows, doors, construction, masonry, and other materials that contribute to the overall appearance of a business. To be considered, applicants must provide a 25% match of the grant funds.

“We are thrilled to provide these grants to help our local businesses beautify their storefronts and attract more customers,” said Kimberly Tiefenthaler, Executive Director of CCGP. “These improvements not only enhance the businesses themselves but also contribute to the overall vibrancy of our communities.”
