At a glance
Subject to program rules, available funding, and approval. Confirm current details with the official program administrator.
Is this for you?
- You own a commercial property or business within the Moncton BIA zone
- You are planning exterior improvements like facade updates or new signage
- You can secure approval before starting any work or purchasing materials
Probably not the right fit if
- Your business is located outside the designated Moncton CIP or BIA area
- You have already started or completed the improvement work
- You are looking for funding for interior renovations or non-qualifying projects
How much you'd realistically get
For example, a storefront refresh (new facade, paint and exterior lighting):
Project cost
$10,000
Program pays
$5,000
You pay
$5,000
That's the program's maximum. A bigger project works, and the amount above the cap is yours to fund.
