Five Brooklyn businesses are getting facelifts thanks to funding from the Village! The Corridor Improvement Authority (CIA) has awarded the following businesses grants from the Facade Improvement Program.:

-Angel’s Floral Creations, 131 N. Main St. $1,000 grant for façade brick repair and exterior coating.
-ERA Reardon Realty, 105 N. Main St. $1,000 for a new illuminated sign.
-Lakeside Custom Printing, 102 S. Main St. $1,000 for new wall siding.
-Star Theatre, 119 N. Main St. $1,000 for façade steel panel restoration.
-Spellbound Owl Boutique, 106 S. Main St. $402 for exterior sign upgrade.

The facade program is a way for local businesses to get assistance with improving the exteriors of their properties. It's funded by the Brooklyn CIA, which captures a portion of taxes from commercial corridors and uses the funds to reinvest in the community.

Our local businesses are a big part of Brooklyn's small town charm, so it's exciting to offer funding to help them improve the look of their businesses.
