If you are a small neighborhood business looking for ways to give your store the curb appeal it needs to bring in more customers Motor City Re-Store is for you.
The program will provide a total of $500,000 in matching grants each quarter to existing businesses to make exterior improvements that will help stabilize and create more walkable, attractive and viable neighborhood business districts.
Starting June 15, business owners and commercial landlords must jointly apply for 50 percent matching grants up to $25,000, and multiple businesses applying as a group can apply for 75 percent matching grants.

Motor City Re-Store is funded in part by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Community Development Block Grant Program.
“The small neighborhood businesses that have hung in there over the years and have sustained our city are part of Detroit’s revitalization. That’s why we created Motor City Re-Store,” says Mayor Mike Duggan. “This is how we are going to bring our city back, by supporting our existing businesses and residents as we welcome new ones to our neighborhoods.”
