Experience Chehalis offers a grant program to provide matching funds to downtown business owners who desire to make eligible small-scale improvements to the façade of their buildings for the winter holiday season. Experience Chehalis works to support and foster the health and viability of our business community, and the Holiday Façade Grant aims to encourage improvements that will enhance the physical image of the downtown as a quality place to shop, work, and live, especially during the holiday season.
The grant provides a 75 percent match, up to $350 per business, for approved costs including holiday window displays, window painting, and/or lighting in storefront displays that are visible from rights-of-way. Applications will be accepted for as long as funding is available each year. Grant awards will be first-come, first-served, and based on available funding. Applications will be reviewed and awarded by Experience Chehalis, and applications are being accepted now.
The complete program requirements, guidelines, and application are available below. Please direct questions to Experience Chehalis at info@experiencechehalis.com.
