PULLED AT STAFF'S REQUEST.  Approve CRA Advisory Committee Interior Uplift Grant Award Recommendations

The Fort Pierce Redevelopment Agency (FPRA) Commercial Building Interior Uplift Grant is an incentive program available to businesses throughout the FPRA District. The program provides matching funds to commercial property owners and businesses for interior upgrades with a focus on projects that remedy degraded building systems and extend the economic viability of the building. The goal of the program is to eliminate functional obsolescence, remove deterioration, and improve the “energy efficiency” of existing buildings in the FPRA District, with an emphasis on bringing these buildings up to current building codes and making them more viable for occupancy.
The Interior Uplift Grant Program offers financial assistance in the form of a reimbursable, matching (50%) grant up to $10,000 to the property or business owner for eligible expenses associated with interior upgrades. '
