The Carroll County Growth Partnership (CCGP) has opened the application period for its second round of $1,000 Micro-Facade Grants, aimed at enhancing the visual appeal of local businesses and boosting economic vitality across Carroll County. The grant program supports private, for-profit, brick-and-mortar businesses in improving their storefronts through eligible facade enhancements, such as painting, signage, window or door updates, construction, and masonry work.

CCGP will award four grants, with a commitment to allocate at least one to a business outside of Carroll. Applicants must provide a 25% match of the grant funds to be considered for funding. The deadline for application submissions is November 15, 2024. Applications can be emailed to Kimberly Tiefenthaler or mailed to CCGP.
