During its first two program years (2021-2023), the Palisades Main Street directed more than $160,000 in funding to Palisades small businesses in the form of grants. The Palisades Main Street aims for 100 percent business outreach using both digital and printed collateral so that all business owners can be informed.
Annually, the Palisades Main Street will solicit grant proposals from small businesses through a competitive process. Small business owners can apply for a grant for hard costs (e.g., program space buildout and renovations; façade improvements; and purchase and installation of heavy equipment and fixtures permanently attached to a wall, floor, or ceiling), soft costs (e.g., point-of-sale and inventory management hardware and software; and purchase and installation of movable equipment and furniture), and direct reimbursement to business owners for rent, utilities, employee wages and interior and exterior renovations. Businesses can also apply for a grant for technical assistance, or work with our staff to get the support you need. Visit this page on our website to learn more about technical assistance!
The Palisades Main Street Advisory Board will review all applications on a rolling basis and vote upon all awards.
