Downtown Beautification Micro Grants
Morrisville Alliance for Culture and Commerce (MACC) is pleased to offer grant funding for external improvements for our business community. Our goal is to encourage downtown and North End businesses to invest in beautifying their storefronts to enhance the appearance of our historic downtown and North End. Grant money may be used for any of the following exterior improvements. This list is not all- inclusive, and we encourage creativity when applying for grant funds.
- Purchasing planters, flowers, or improving landscaping in front of the business
- Painting business façade, trim, or door
- Exterior renovations to improve the appearance of the storefront.
- Improving outdoor lighting
- New or improved signage or seating area
- Purchasing “open for business” flags to draw customers to the business.
- Commissioning outdoor artwork or window art
