Façade Improvement Matching Grants

Since the City of Minneapolis launched the Great Streets Façade Improvement Program in 2008, Redesign has overseen more than 75 projects. Using our expertise in design and development, we work with business and property owners to implement improvements that increase business visibility, attract customers and contribute to a more inviting pedestrian environment.

Redesign receives funding through the City of Minneapolis Business District Support grantmaking to provide technical assistance and financial support to existing or new businesses looking to invest in their properties. We customize the type of assistance offered based on the owners’ needs. Examples include financial feasibility analysis, vendor and contractor referrals, construction management, funding towards branding, interior or façade design.
