<p class="MsoNormal">The City of Beaverton uses both urban renewal dollars as well as some general funds for their
<a href="https://www.beavertonoregon.gov/storefront">Storefront Improvement</a> and restaurant-specific
<a href="https://www.beavertonoregon.gov/2105/Tenant-Improvement-Program">Tenant Improvement</a> grant programs. Some of the details:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Both have a maximum grant of $35k<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Both will fund 50% for smaller projects (just new paint, etc.), and 70% (up to the max) for larger projects (paint, awning, signage and roll up door)<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Both require 3 bids for all elements over $5k, and strongly recommend 3 bids anyway<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Both have the above Improvement grants, as well as a Design grant, where the City pays 100% of an established business to spend time with an architect to design their ideal design,
as well as obtain up to 3 bids from general contractors. These are typically the $75k+ projects, but we have found that a business that’s great at making pizza, for example, doesn’t necessarily know what a good rehab could look like. These “pretty pictures”
and numbers really help them decide how they want to move forward. We pay the architect’s $7,500 (a recent increase from $5k).

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I think I’ve mentioned this on the weekly call, so apologies if I’m being a broken record. Reedsport Main Street is a function of the City, so a lot of RMSP funds are Urban Renewal Dollars, including the Façade
Grant Program. This is now the Business Improvement Grant program because we found that many property owners had structural issues beyond just the façade and even though the façade looked great, they still couldn’t occupy the building or allow a tenant due
to the other improvement needs, so RMSP opened it up to other structural improvements as well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The Business Improvement Grant has a 1:1 match and we will match up to $2,500. Attached are the guidelines and application for the 2020 cycle if you want to see an example (postponed due to COVID, typically this
happens beginning in February/March with awards made in April)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

maximum amounts, if you have a maximum. Some of our commissioners believe that there should be a cap on the maximum grant allowable for façade restoration (for example), however our committees think slightly differently.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
