Sign & Awning Replacement Grant Programs
Grants are available to Fair Lawn businesses (depending on location), to provide financial incentives, which would make higher quality signs and awnings more affordable. The programs also reinforce a consistency and higher design standard that will benefit commercial districts as a whole, by offering assistance in meeting the required design guidelines.
TWO TYPES OF GRANTS:
- The Business Zone Sign and Awning Replacement Grant Program can be considered by any business or property owner located in any of Fair Lawn’s business zones.
- The Sign and Awning Replacement Grant Program is available only to businesses located in one of Fair Lawn’s two Special Improvement Districts - River Road or Broadway.
