Heads up! It's your VERY LAST DAY to apply!

The Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh has opened its Commercial Façade Grant Program, and it’s all about helping local businesses level up their curb appeal. Think fresh paint, brighter lighting, new signage, updated windows and doors; the kinds of upgrades that make a block feel more welcoming and a business stand out on the street.

If you’ve been thinking, “Someday we should fix up the front of the shop…”, this might be your sign.

Applications are due today, May 29, so don't dilly-dally! Awards will be granted this summer. There’s also support available to help you through the process, so you don’t have to figure it out alone.
