Facade & Sign Grants
​
An attractive and well-maintained building facade with eye-catching signage is essential to the success of any business. Property owners in downtown Watertown may be eligible to apply for grant funding to help offset the cost of building improvement projects such as facade restoration, a new or replacement awning, exterior lighting, and new signage.
​
Property and business owners may also receive complimentary exterior color selection and design consultation from the Historic Preservation & Downtown Design Commission.
