Storefront resiliency initiative
storefront resiliency initiative
Our Storefront Resiliency Initiative offers two grants to help downtown small businesses be more resilient and responsive for unexpected property damage including funding for installing security cameras/systems as well as financial support if a business sustains any property damage. Businesses are invited to apply for one or both grants at this time.
Grants will be awarded to eligible businesses on a first-come, first-serve basis at the discretion of Centro until funds are depleted.
