Commercial Facade Improvement Program

The Commercial Facade Improvement Program (CFIP) offers financial assistance to low to-moderate income property owners or tenants seeking to rehabilitate commercial building facades in the following strategic planning areas: Enterprise Community (CDBG Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area), the South Albany Urban Redevelopment Area (CDBG Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area), and the East Albany Urban Redevelopment Area.

Funded and administered by the City of Albany, Georgia Community Development Block Grant Program, the intent of this program is to provide an investment incentive that will aid in revitalization of the older commercial areas in our community by improving the physical appearance of their buildings. With this purpose in mind, the City has designed this program to meet the additional objectives of providing support for on-going planning and community efforts in key redevelopment areas, and for preservation of existing historic resources and community character through appropriate building treatment and design.
