Overview

The Forward Together North Sacramento Facade and Property Improvement Grant Program (Façade Program) provides up to $30,000 for eligible exterior improvements to properties located along key commercial corridors within City Council District 2.

The purpose of the Façade Program is to help the North Sacramento small business and real estate community recover from the negative economic impacts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. By improving the physical appearance of corridor storefronts, the Façade Program aims to:

  1.  Stabilize existing businesses
  2.  Decrease vacancies
  3.  Attract more visitors
  4.  Spur new investment 

The Façade Program is also an identified priority within the recently approved Marysville-Del Paso Boulevard Forward Together Action Plan. Forward Together is a community-driven effort that identifies actions to increase the quality of life and economic growth for people and businesses along the Marysville-Del Paso Boulevard corridor. The priorities identified by Forward Together will also help to inform future City investments in North Sacramento.
