Money Available For Uptown Businesses To Spruce Up How They Look

Uptown Saint John rolling out what it's calling a new improved grant programme to allow businesses to make the facades on their storefront look more attractive.

Uptown General Manager Peter Asimakos tells CHSJ News there are grants for those businesses that are not in the designated heritage area.

There's money for design help, construction, signage, patios and even interior storefront window displays.
 
Uptown Saint John has a committee which reviews the designs before deciding whether to approve the grants.
