Facade Improvement Program

The purpose of the Facade Improvement Program is to provide forgivable loans of up to $50,000.00 to small businesses in the City of Birmingham to encourage and assist with property revitalization efforts.

The goal of the program is to restore and improve the appearance of the facades of blighted and/or dilapidated buildings and to preserve the historic character of Birmingham neighborhoods. Research has proven that investing in facade improvements is beneficial to the City as a whole. Improvements to commercial facades serves as a catalyst to revitalization efforts, encourages property reinvestment, attracts new businesses to the City, and increases property values.
