Façade Improvement Grant - Angela's Creative Catering

Check out these before and after photos of Façade Improvements at Angela's Creative Catering! This business used an RDA Façade Improvement Grant to purchase the new sign and paint the awnings black. It looks great!

The River District Façade Improvement Grant Program is designed to assist property and business owners in rehabilitating facades for commercial buildings and businesses in the River District. Positive visual impact stimulates private investment, and complements other community development efforts.

A total of $5,000 is available to be awarded in 1:1 matching grant funding to River District businesses that meet application requirements.

The River District Association is excited to celebrate the 2022 Dream Launch Pitch Grant Awardees!  These businesses participated in a 6 week Dream Launch Bootcamp that covered topics from financial planning, business planning, access to capital, marketing and more.  Those that attended all 6 classes were able to pitch for funding if they chose to.  

Urban Fitness, owned by Marvin Ken Jones, was awarded $13,200 to help expand the gym located at 525 Loyal Street.
