Facade Improvement Program

The City of Hopkins periodically offers grant opportunities to downtown businesses for façade improvements. Eligible property owners, or business owners, may apply for grant assistance up to 50 percent of the cost of improvements — up to $25,000.

Purpose

The City of Hopkins is looking to strengthen the vitality of Mainstreet by improving the pedestrian experience, increasing building transparency, and beautifying buildings through façade revitalization efforts, which will have a lasting impact on downtown Hopkins. This program provides property and business owners with technical and financial assistance to help improve commercial building facades.

Who Can Apply?

Commercial property owners, or business owners with the approval of property owner, located within Downtown Hopkins between 7th Ave and 13th Ave and between 1st St. N and 1st St. S (as shown on map below) are eligible to apply, assuming the property has no delinquent bills, charges, or taxes due to the city.
