Discussion: Lakeside Façade Improvement Grant Program
Requesting Party: City Economic Development
Outline of Request: Last month, staff presented three potential ways for Lakeside to
support businesses within the district. The board expressed interest in creating a facade
improvement program modeled after the DDA’s program. Staff has drafted a preliminary
version of a Lakeside facade improvement grant for the board to review. Staff is seeking
direction on logistics, funding levels, and whether the program should be administered
under the CIA, given that the BID expires in January 2027.
Staff Comments:. Staff is prepared to adjust program details based on board feedback
and can return with a finalized structure at a future meeting.

FACADE IMPROVEMENT GRANT
2026 - 2027
City of Muskegon – Lakeside BID/CIA
2026-27 Façade Improvement Grant Program Guidelines
Goal:
To upgrade the look and function of commercial buildings within the Lakeside Business Improvement District
and Corridor Improvement Authority (BID/CIA) by encouraging tenant businesses or building owners to make
exterior improvements. Such improvements will enhance the individual property’s value; and uplift the block
in which the property is located and the overall district.
Available Funding:
The Lakeside BID/CIA has budgeted $10,000 for the 2026-27 fiscal year, to be available to applicants on a
first-come, first-serve basis. The number of grants will be limited by the budgeted amount.
Terms:
The Building Façade Improvement Grants are for up to $2,000, with an applicant match of one to one. Thus, a
$1,000 grant would need to have the applicant propose a project of at least $2,000. This is a reimbursement-
oriented program to ensure that proposed work is done appropriately and consistent with the character of
the Lakeside business district.
Eligibility:
• Applicant must be a business or commercial building owner located within the Lakeside business
district. Leaseholder businesses must receive the written permission of the building owner.
• The building must be an existing commercial structure at the sidewalk level, but can be mixed-use on
the floors above. Grants can assist redevelopment, remodeling or renovations to existing commercial
buildings but are not for new buildings.
• All city taxes and other city accounts must be current.
• All work must be done in compliance with all city regulations and ordinances, including obtaining
necessary building permits and the approval of the Historic District Commission when applicable.
• All work must be done by a licensed contractor.
• All changes in access to a building must strictly comply with the federal Americans with Disabilities
Act.
• Work receiving grant funding must not begin until a grant is awarded and work must be completed in
12 months. The applicant can request a 6-month extension in writing if the project is not completed
within 12 months of the approval date.
Eligible Costs:
The Lakeside BID/CIA board will have the final decision on the eligibility of any items receiving grant funding.
Improvements must be to the exterior of the building and may include:
Exterior walls, windows, doors, exterior brick staining, cleaning or tuck-pointing of masonry or
stone, ADA improvements to exits and entrances, awnings, decorative signs improving the
aesthetics of the building, exterior lighting for safety and aesthetics and unique exterior
architectural features.
Exterior Brick Staining:
This item is eligible only if there is noticeable paint deterioration present. Proof must be provided with your
application.
Ineligible Costs:
Among other items, grants are not available for:
Property acquisition, site plans, building fees, appraisal or attorney fees, business equipment taxed as
personal property, wages associated with the project paid the applicant or applicant’s relatives,
parking lots and landscaping. (Although parking lot improvements and landscaping are encouraged,
they are not grant eligible.)
Application Process:
• Provide a brief statement of intent demonstrating the need for financial assistance; how the project
will improve the building, its block and the district; and a commitment to future property maintenance.
• Provide a description of the proposed project, submitting photos of the existing building and if
available drawings of the improvement.
• Provide detailed cost estimates with at least two competitive quotes from licensed contractors and
their suppliers.
• Provide a timeline for commencing the project and its completion.
• Provide evidence of financial ability to complete the project with the understanding that the grant
funds will only be disbursed upon completion of the project.
Review/Approval Process:
Applications received in the City of Muskegon’s Development Services Division Office (Muskegon City Hall, 933
Terrace St, Room 202) will be reviewed by city staff. Grants must receive final approval by the Lakeside BID/CIA
board.
All reviews will consider the grant program goals, along with the long-term economic development benefits to
the Lakeside business district and the enhancement of the architectural appeal of the applicant building.
Changes in project scope or design must be Lakeside BID/CIA approved for final reimbursement. If approved,
City staff will request an update on each project after 6 months of the approval date.
Project Reimbursement:
Upon completion of the project, grant recipient must submit final invoices marked as paid along with copies
of grant recipient proof of payment to the contractors and/or suppliers.
Program Authority:
The Lakeside BID/CIA board has final decisions on all matters related to the Building Façade Improvement Grant
Program. Any decision by the Lakeside BID/CIA board is final.

2026 Meeting Dates
Requesting Party: City Economic Development
Outline of Request: At the board chair’s direction, staff reviewed the City Manager’s
availability for attending Lakeside BID/CIA meetings. Staff confirmed that 9 AM on
Tuesdays works for the City Manager, which would shift our regular meeting dates
beginning in 2026. With that change, the next meeting would fall on January 6, 2026,
only two weeks after the upcoming meeting. Staff is not anticipating a large January
agenda, so the board may wish to discuss whether a meeting is needed. Meeting dates are
traditionally approved at the first meeting of the year, and staff has prepared a draft 2026
schedule for when the board is ready to review it.
Staff Comments: Staff is prepared to update or finalize the schedule once the board
provides direction and can cancel the January meeting if the board decides not to
convene.
Staff Recommendation: To discuss whether a January meeting is necessary and
determine when the board would like to approve the 2026 meeting dates.
Suggested Motion: Discussion Only; unless the board chooses to cancel the January
meeting or formally adopt the 2026 schedule.
