Congratulations to Ford City on receiving the Main Street Facade Grant through the DCED! 🎉
As a business and real estate development company, wins like these are incredibly encouraging. Programs that support façade improvements help businesses create a more modern, inviting atmosphere while strengthening the entire community. 🏢✨
Our company has already invested tens of thousands of dollars into Ford City, and seeing continued momentum like this reinforces our commitment to the area. We’re excited about the opportunity to further improve our properties and contribute to the ongoing revitalization of the town through this program.
Here’s to continued growth, investment, and a brighter future for Ford City! 🚧🌟
Ford City Borough is proud to announce that the Borough has been awarded $100,000 through DCED’s Main Street Matters Program to launch a Borough-wide Façade Improvement Program!
This program will provide 50/50 matching grants (up to $5,000 per property) to help local businesses and property owners improve storefronts, signage, lighting, and more. With private investment, this effort is expected to generate over $200,000 in total improvements across our community.
This initiative was developed in 2025 through a partnership between the Borough and the Ford City Area Business and Professional Association, and reflects strong local demand for reinvestment in our commercial corridors.
This is a big step toward improving curb appeal, supporting our small businesses, and continuing the revitalization of Ford City!
This grant award brings the tally to $2,578,428 in grant funds received by Ford City Borough in 2026 alone!
Full program details and applications will be released in the coming months. Stay tuned!
