Lealman Commercial Improvement Grant Program
The Lealman CRA Commercial Improvement Program is intended to provide matching grants to accelerate and leverage private investment to improve the appearance, condition, and functionality of existing non-residential sites and buildings in the Lealman Community Redevelopment Area (CRA).
The program provides reimbursable matching grants to commercial property owners and businesses that upgrade their building façades, landscaping, lighting, loading and service areas, and other features of the exterior of their sites, and interior upgrades with a focus on projects that remedy degraded building systems and extend the economic viability of the building.
