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;
  • Fostering stability and renewal of existing businesses; and
  • Attracting new types of businesses and helping to fill vacancies.

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

Funding

The City of Spruce Grove has allocated $75,000 to provide 50% matching grants of up to a maximum of $7,500 per storefront or up to $10,000 for improvements on a street corner where improvements are made to two façades. 

Eligibility

  • For the purposes of this program, eligible storefronts are purpose-built commercial units accessed from the ground level.
  • Home-based businesses do not qualify.
  • The program applies to properties and businesses located within the City Centre Storefront Improvement Program Area.
