The City of Saskatoon encourages the conservation and enhancement of commercial building façades by providing grant funding to property owners and businesses located in established commercial areas to cover a portion of the eligible costs of facade improvement and/or conservation work. The program has three incentive streams an applicant may be eligible for - the Façade Conservation and Enhancement Incentive, the Heritage Conservation Incentive, and the Building Refresh Incentive.
Please visit the program website for more detailed information before applying.
The Building Refresh Incentive is intended to support small maintenance and improvement projects.
- The incentive is equivalent to 50% of budgeted costs to a maximum of $2,500.
- Projects which only include maintenance work are eligible for this grant.
Full funding is not guaranteed for any application.
Building Refresh Incentive Grants are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Applications may be submitted at any time during the year until all available funds have been allocated.
If funding has been fully allocated, applicants are still encouraged to apply. Additional funds may become available throughout the year, and in that case, the Program Coordinator will review applications in the order they were received.
