The Façade Grant Program is intended to encourage new or existing property owners to improve the appearance of buildings in the City of Dallas Central Business District Area. Matching funds are made available for eligible improvements to business facades that are easily visible and in public right-of-ways, such as those that face a public street or a public parking area. Improvements must preserve the individual character of each building with its unique features, historic appearance and significance, as well as make a contribution and impact to the appeal of the Central Business District Area. Note that all such improvements District must meet the Historic Preservation Commission’s design guidelines if located within the Historic Commercial District and have an approved Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) application and building permit. The Façade Grant Program is funded by the City of Dallas, GA and administered by the City of Dallas, GA Downtown Development Authority. The Dallas DDA will determine the amount of matching funds based on the proposed façade change, grant funds available and the number of request under consideration. Visit dallasga.gov to learn more!
