The City of Williams Lake, in partnership with Northern Development Initiative Trust’s Business Façade Improvement Program, is offering $20,000 in funding to improve commercial building façades in the City’s downtown and highway commercial corridor this spring.
The program aims to enhance the appearance and functionality of commercial buildings to support business viability and better serve the community.
Grants of up to $5,000 are available per business, or up to 50% of the project cost if the total project budget is less than $10,000. To qualify, projects must have a minimum value of $2,000.
Applications will be accepted from February 18, 2025, to April 1, 2025. Late applications may be considered depending on program availability. All applicants will be notified by May 30, 2025.
“Improving business facades makes business areas more appealing to consumers, boosting the marketability of commercial spaces and supporting business viability and retention,” said Beth Veenkamp, Manager of Economic Development with the City of Williams Lake.
Applications will be evaluated based on their alignment with the program's guidelines and design criteria.
To apply, or for more information on the program, guidelines, and application process, visit the City’s website at https://www.williamslake.ca/924/Business-Facade-Improvement-Program.
