Storefront Improvement Program
The City Centre Storefront Improvement Program provides commercial property and business owners in the Spruce Grove City Centre with a funding incentive to make exterior improvements to their storefronts. This program can benefit businesses and building owners by:
- Increasing sales and foot-traffic by improving window shopping and curb appeal;
- Encouraging a high general standard of storefront maintenance;

The deadline for applications is November 1, 2023 or until the funding has been committed.
