​Façade Improvement Grants

​Note: This program is no longer active, but will likely resume in mid-summer 2022.

Business and commercial property owners along Whittier's four commercial corridors (Franklin Ave, Lyndale Ave, Lake St, Nicollet Ave) may apply for matching grants for a variety of eligible storefront improvements. The grants are made possible by the 
City of Minneapolis Great Streets program. The Great Streets program aims to help revitalize and sustain neighborhood business districts.

Matching grants up to $5,000 per business or storefront are available through Whittier Alliance based on the following parameters: 


Nicollet Ave (Grant St to Lake St)
1:1 match / $5,000 max
E. Franklin Ave (Nicollet to 35W) 
1:1 match / $5,000 max
Lyndale Ave (I-94 to 31st St) 
1:2 match / $5,000 max

Please review the Program Guidelines, Application, and Design Guide documents below and reach out to our office with any questions.
