The City of Fort Pierce Launches FPRA Commercial Interior Uplift Grant
The City of Fort Pierce is pleased to announce the launch of the Fort Pierce Redevelopment Agency (FPRA) Commercial Interior Uplift Grant. The pre-application period is now open until January 19, 2022. This incentive program is available to businesses throughout the FPRA District. The program provides matching funds to commercial property owners and businesses for interior upgrades with a focus on projects that remedy degraded building systems and extend the economic viability of the building. The goal of the program is to eliminate functional obsolescence, remove deterioration, and improve the “energy efficiency” of existing buildings in the FPRA District, with an emphasis on bringing these buildings up to current building codes and making them more viable for occupancy.
The grant offers financial assistance in the form of a reimbursable matching (50%) grant up to $10,000. To be eligible the building must be located within the FPRA District and be commercially zoned.
