City of Cambridge Community Development Department STOREFRONT IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM The City of Cambridge Community Development Department (CDD) established the Storefront Improvement Program to provide financial assistance to property owners or retail tenants seeking to remove architectural barriers, renovate the commercial building façade and ! enhance exterior signage. The Program's objectives are to improve accessibility and physical appearance of retail establishments and enhance commercial districts. The Program provides a matching grant for the funding of well-designed improvements that will coordinate all the important features of the storefront into a more attractive image while • creating an accessible entrance for the public. This may include removal of physical barriers, restoration of architectural details, better windows and doors, and well-proportioned signage and lighting. Past matching grants have ranged from $2,500 to $35,000 with accessible design upgrades getting 90% reimbursement based on scope of work and available funds. Grants vary each year so contact CDD for further information. Applicants; are responsible for hiring licensed designers, architects, contractors, and sign fabricators. A retail tenant is defined as a commercial establishment selling goods or services directly to members of the public for personal use and whose use is not solely for re-sale purposes (wholesale). Included in this definition are food and creative for-profit businesses. Improvements made prior to a signed contract with the City of Cambridge will not be funded. The following criteria must be met for participation in the Program: 1. Applicants must be property owners or commercial retail tenants whose storefronts face onto a Cambridge street; 2. Commercial retail tenants must offer goods or services that are open to the public; 3. Preference will be given to independent businesses not required by contractual arrangement to maintain standardized décor, architecture, signs or similar features; 14. Preference will be given to commercial retail tenants in a commercial district or corridor; 5. Tenants must have written approval from property owners to participate in program; 6. Billboards on property, if applicable, must be permanently removed as part of the improvement; 7. Property owners must be up to date on all municipal taxes prior to participation in the program; 8. Applicants must comply with all State and local laws and regulations pertaining to licensing, permits, building code and zoning requirements. The City of Cambridge reserves the right to apply additional criteria before accepting a project if program demand exceeds budgeted resources.
