Chico Building Enhancement Program
Grant opportunities to improve business storefronts
Due to the impacts of the pandemic, many business owners had little opportunity or incentive to invest in the ongoing beautification of their business, resulting in many businesses in need of upgrades to their general appearance. The City of Chico has allocated $200,000 toward a Building Enhancement Grant Program to assist business owners with the funds necessary to improve their business exterior, thereby enhancing the attractiveness and appeal of the business to potential patrons. The program will provide grants of up to $5,000 to for-profit businesses located within the city limits to upgrade and generally improve the appearance of commercial business fronts.
**The City of Chico Building Enhancement Grant Program is currently oversubscribed, and the application window will close on April 13, 2022**
