The City of La Mesa is launching the La Mesa Façade and Property Improvement Grant program for a third consecutive year. This program aims to bolster local businesses by providing grant funds for up to $25,000 for exterior façade improvements such as new awnings, signage, painting, light¬ing, and landscaping.
On Feb. 27, the city council allocated an additional $250,000 of American Rescue Plan Act funding to support the program. This funding demonstrates the city’s commitment to local businesses, enhancing the economic landscape, and promoting thriving commercial districts within La Mesa.
The online application will open at 8 a.m. on April 1. Interested business and property owners are encouraged to review program guidelines thoroughly before applying.
Applications will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to grant fund availability.
The grant program has been successful to date with 13 businesses completing projects and receiving grant funding.
