Benefits & Incentive Programs: The Longmont Downtown Development Authority is proud to offer business and property owners several programs to support the maintenance and improvement of the historic buildings in our Downtown Longmont District.

Several development grants support improvements to properties in the Downtown District:

Façade Renovation Grants: This grant program reimburses applicants for large-scale projects to renovate a building’s façade. Grant amounts are contingent on the scale of the project and available Development Incentive Program grant funds. Funds may be used for large-scale façade restoration/renovation projects that would require a significant change to the façade of the building.

Community Development Block Grant Loan Program: The LDDA’s loan program assists property owners and tenants in making costly improvements and enhancements to building exteriors with funds that must be repaid, but which are available at favorable terms. The loan program covers façade improvements only. Five-year loans match property owner funds at a 1:1.5 level, with a maximum request of $15,000 per 25-foot façade.
