City of Gresham announces new Rockwood Storefront Improvement Grant

The Gresham Redevelopment Commission (GRDC) has launched a new grant program aimed at helping small businesses in Rockwood, one of Oregon’s most diverse neighborhoods. The program will offer matching grants to businesses and commercial property owners to update, make repairs, and improve building exteriors.

Eligible Rockwood business owners can have up to 50% of a project’s total costs covered, for a maximum of $10,000 in reimbursements. Projects covered by the grant program include, but are not limited to, exterior lighting, exterior painting, landscaping, signage, and window replacement.

“This program represents a concerted effort to reinvest in our small businesses and to help create a pathway for economic prosperity in the most diverse corner of Gresham,” said Gresham Mayor Travis Stovall.

Interested business owners located in the Rockwood-West Gresham Urban Renewal area can learn more about the program and apply by visiting GreshamOregon.gov/Rockwood-Storefront-Improvement-Grant.
