Regina City Centre Storefront Improvement & Tenant Fit-Up Grant
The grant intake is closed. When open, it pays back up to 50% of eligible renovation costs, up to $50,000, for Regina storefronts. This is a matching grant, so you pay first and get paid back after inspection. Applications are closed right now and we watch for reopening.
“Projects may receive a grant to cover up to 50 per cent of eligible costs to a maximum of $50,000.”
