An essential part of the Downtown Development Authority is making the community safer and more appealing to businesses and residents alike. Over the past few years, the DDA has undertaken such beautification projects as street trees, decorative lighting, decorative street planters, improved pedestrian pathways and street benches.
Through the Township's maintenance department, the DDA funds a grounds maintenance person who is responsible for maintaining these streetscape projects, keeping our streets clean and neat.
The DDA also has the resources to help you update existing structures. The Commercial Rehabilitation Rebate Program (CRRP) offers grants to businesses within its district for renovations and exterior improvements. We believe this kind of support makes Delhi Township a smart location for your business. We're a community, not just a township.
By making eligible improvements in commercial building exteriors, facades and landscaping within the Central Business District, business people, whether property owners or tenants, will enjoy many long-term financial and esthetic benefits.
The Commercial Rehabilitation Rebate Program offers liberal rebates for those who participate. For example, architectural and landscape design fees can be reimbursed by the DDA to a maximum of $1,000 each. Eligible improvements up to $100,000 of owner-paid costs can be reimbursed to a maximum of 50% or $50,000 for each commercial building.
Whether you are a property owner or tenant, this is a unique opportunity for you to modernize, upgrade or otherwise improve the appearance of your building at a significant cost savings.
