• Adding curb appeal and variety at the sidewalk level, emphasizing active storefronts, orienting windows, and doorways to the street.
• All interior/exterior renovations could qualify for this beautification.
• Upgrading of the plumbing and lighting in your business.
• Enhancing the storefront designs that make use of window display areas and/or new signage.
• Coordinating improvements with neighbouring buildings and the unique character of the local business area.
• Undertaking general cleaning of the building exterior, interior, repainting faded and peeling paint, repairing damaged areas, and restoring unique architectural features
