ABOUT THE GRANT
The City of Taylor Downtown Business Grants provide small businesses in Downtown Taylor, Texas with a suite of grant programs designed to support existing storefronts, activate outdoor spaces, drive collaborative events, and attract new businesses to the district. Administered by the City of Taylor's Downtown Department and Main Street Program, the grants are part of a broader $500,000 investment in downtown Taylor that also includes streetscape improvements to Heritage Square Park, new bike racks and trash cans, street resurfacing, and restoration of the city's historic wood brick roadway.
Eligibility is limited to businesses located within the downtown Taylor district. The program is offered through four distinct grant tracks tailored to different types of investment.
-The Front Porch Package Grant helps existing downtown businesses pay for storefront-facing items and improvements such as rocking chairs, floral displays, signs, and other exterior investments that enhance the character and inviting appearance of downtown Taylor.
-The Stay-A-While Grant funds the installation of outdoor seating and gathering spaces at downtown businesses, encouraging visitors to linger, socialize, and spend more time in the district.
-The Multi-Business Event Grant supports collaborative events involving multiple downtown businesses, funding joint activations and shared promotions that draw visitors to the district and drive foot traffic across participating storefronts.
-The Economic Development Recruitment Grant provides matching reimbursements of up to $50,000 to help attract new retail, restaurant, and entertainment businesses to downtown Taylor. Grant funds are designed to offset build-out costs such as HVAC, plumbing, and permitting, with a total program pool of $100,000 available.
