Facade Improvement Grant (FIG) Application

The FIG program provides support to existing small business owners with less than 50 employees located on any commercially or industrially zoned property.

The grant funds must be used for new projects that make a visible, demonstrable improvement to the exterior of a building or property, such as façades, fencing, signage or landscape improvements.

This application MUST be completed entirely in order to be considered for review and approval of a grant award from the Virginia Beach Development Authority (VBDA).

Please contact Eric Severn at esevern@vbgov.com or 757-385-2907 if you have any questions regarding this application.
