Business and Commercial District Facade Grant now available

The Cameron Economic Development Corporation (CEDC) is launching the 2025 Facade Improvement Grant program for businesses located in the Business or Commercial Zones.

The purpose of the Facade Improvement Grant is to support the growth of existing businesses, increase interest in the reuse of existing buildings, and help recruit new businesses and services in Cameron. The CEDC will provide financial incentives for exterior improvements to buildings in the Business and Commercial Zones.

The Facade Grant Program will provide awards for exterior improvements to buildings. Eligible improvements include signage, lighting, awnings, windows, building fronts, entries, planters (consistent with existing design standards), and other expenditures as defined by the Facade Grant Committee (FGC).

Grants are a 50/50 match. The applicant is responsible for the first 50 percent of all project costs. The grant will fund 50 percent of project costs up to a maximum of $5,000. Grant amounts will depend upon funding availability. The Facade Grant Program will issue the grant funds to the contractor or vendor after completion and inspection of the project.

For more information, about the program please contact the Economic Development Office at (254) 697-4970 or email gwatkins@cameronindustrialfoundation.com.
