Incentives offered for storefront improvements in Beverly

By Paul Leighton

BEVERLY — Beverly Main Streets is offering new incentives for downtown businesses to spruce up their storefronts.

The nonprofit organization will provide matching grants of up to $5,000 and low-interest loans of up to $40,000 to business and property owners who want to improve their facades. Main Streets will also provide free design assistance.

A free workshop is scheduled for Monday, March 31, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Beverly Public Library. Representatives from Main Streets' design committee and the city Planning Department will explain the application and grant process and offer advice on design techniques.

The program starts April 15. For more information, call Main Streets Executive Director Gin Wallace at 978-922-8558 or visit www.beverlymainstreets.org.
