Façade Grant Program Expands

Different areas throughout Cumberland are now eligible to take advantage of the city’s façade grant program. Available funds of $175,000 may help businesses in specific boundaries through a 80/20 match, up to $10,000. Main Street Manager Melinda Kelleher said the grants could be used by property owners for different work…

“Signage, exterior painting, storefront reconstruction, siding, exterior lighting, window and door upgrades, murals, roofs, and public-facing masonry or cornices. It’s truly a front-facing façade grant.”
