INCENTIVE PROGRAM PURPOSE 

The West Palm Beach Downtown Development Authority (DDA) offers incentive programs designed to support both new and existing businesses within the DDA District by providing funding for significant, permanent improvements to commercial properties. These programs aim to enhance the downtown area's appeal and functionality, attracting a vibrant mix of retail, arts and cultural institutions, unique restaurants, boutiques, and service-oriented businesses that serve our growing community.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW 

The West Palm Beach Downtown Development Authority (DDA), in collaboration with the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), has developed the Facade Improvement Program to help revitalize the downtown area. This initiative is designed to enhance the exterior appearance of commercial properties, contributing to the overall aesthetic and "curb appeal" of Downtown West Palm Beach. By improving the visual landscape, the program aims to attract new businesses, support the retention of existing businesses, and create a vibrant, welcoming environment for visitors and the community.

The program shall provide grants to business owners or property owners for up to 50% of the cost of exterior improvements made to building facades in the DDA District for awnings, signs, landscaping and other similar exterior improvements. Storefront exterior improvements not to exceed $10,000. Building exterior improvements not to exceed $20,000 (Note: Stand-alone building or building facade more than 25,000 sq. ft.)

Applications shall be reviewed by DDA staff in the order they are received. Once an application has been approved for an amount, the award is final and cannot be increased. The award amount can be reduced if the paid receipts are less than the original cost estimate provided with the application. The DDA shall determine the need for the improvement and shall consider how the proposed improvement would fit in with the surrounding area and further the goal of making the area more attractive for potential customers and new businesses. Grants will no longer be approved once all allocated funds are exhausted.

Once the DDA approves a grant the applicant will be requested to provide the DDA with a schedule for completion date for the work. No work shall commence before receiving written authorization from the DDA to begin work. 

Any improvements initiated before such authorization will not be eligible for grant funds. The processing and approval of projects may take up to 12 weeks.

Payment shall not exceed the amount approved by the DDA, or 50% of the total bill. The grant will be reimbursed after completion of the improvements and proof of paid invoices for the facade improvements. Upon inspection and approval by the City, the DDA will pay the grant within 30 days.

Grant applications will not be considered if construction/renovations have commenced prior to written confirmation from the DDA.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW AND PURPOSE 

On May 19, 2020, in accordance with the Governor's Executive Order, the City of West Palm Beach issued a Declaration of Emergency, which allowed expanded outdoor seating for restaurants under a Temporary Outdoor Dining (TOD) Program to ensure businesses had the greatest ability to operate successfully during the COVID-19 economic recovery. The TOD program allowed expanded seating on sidewalks and for parklets. After the City's Declaration of Emergency expired, the TOD Program expired, but many businesses desired to retain their expanded outdoor seating. The City, in conjunction with the West Palm Beach Downtown Development Authority (DDA), developed revised regulations to provide additional flexibility for business owners and comfort for patrons. The subject regulations are set forth at Chapter 78, Article XVIII (Parklet Ordinance) of the city code. For Parklet Permit Application Information, please contact Claudia Ibaven at cibaven@wpb.org

Parklet Purpose 

Built along the sidewalk, parklets are designed to expand the public realm in unique and creative ways, creating social spaces by transforming parking stalls into lively outdoor places where people can eat, read, sit, and relax while supporting local businesses.
