Facade Grant Information Coming Soon!

Objective: The objective of the Facade Grant Program is a matching grant program designed to provide assistance with projects that will make the biggest impact (transformational change) on the streetscape of existing commercial properties within the Business Improvement District. The program’s intention is to encourage business growth and to make a positive statement about the Janesville business climate to the community, visitors, existing and potential business tenants. Funds available change from year to year. Information on our next Facade Grant Cycle will be coming in the fall of 2025!

Sponsors: The matching grant program is majority funded by an allocation of funds from the Business Improvement District (BID). BID is funded through an assessment system that levies a special assessment against property owners within the Business Improvement District.
