Façade Improvement Program
The SSJNN Façade Improvement Grant program provides financial assistance to qualified commercial and residential owners of properties within our service boundaries. Through this grant program, we help property owners improve the attractiveness of their properties, while eliminating conditions bearing negative impact on economic growth.
Eligible improvements contribute to the physical, economic, social and aesthetic enhancement of our neighborhoods.
