The Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners announced the Grow Monmouth Façade Improvement Program in August 2013. Businesses in HUD eligible areas  can apply for a grant of up to $1,850 for a facade upgrade such as a new awning, paint, door or sign. To learn if your business is in an eligible area, please call our office at 732-431-7470. There are no matching funds required, and the total project cost cannot exceed $1,850. The program's application/guideline/checklist are available online.

The Grow Monmouth Toolkit, a free service, can provide demographic information about your potential or current location, help you find incentive programs, assist with marketing and identification of potential customers. Call 732-431-7470 or email econdev@co.monmouth.nj.us for more information.
