The Neighborhood Business District Improvement Program (NBDIP) assists communities in improving the economic vitality of neighborhood business districts (NBDs) by implementing projects that will stabilize, maintain, revitalize, and improve the overall economy of the NBD. Applicants may apply for grants of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and/or City Capital funds.
Eligibility:
Eligible uses of NBDIP funds include road improvements, sidewalks, streetscapes, traffic engineering, public parking lots, and NBD plans. Funds can also be used for private purposes such as facade improvements, signage, awnings, building renovation, site acquisition and clearance, and site specific planning. Each project site must be located within an officially recognized NBD. Projects may be proposed by a business, community council, business association, community development corporation, or property owner. The community council and business association must be informed of each project.
