To eliminate blight and prevent further deterioration of the BMSD’s specific target area to

include the BMSD commercial corridors

Provide financial assistance to property owners along the BMSD Commercial Corridors

for the purpose of redevelopment, economic enhancement, or removal of non-conforming

structures

To eliminate conditions which are detrimental to the life, health, safety, and welfare of the

BMSD community

Reduce vacancies and encourage the appropriate and sustainable re-use of properties

along the BMSD commercial corridors

Encourage compliance with the County’s zoning and building codes

Certain business types are ineligible for the program, including, but not limited to, businesses

such as: adult businesses, packaged liquor retailers, gambling establishments, gun shops,

massage parlors, pawn shops, tattoo parlors and businesses operating from residential property.

Non-permanently affixed business equipment is also ineligible.

Façade/Property Improvement Grant Program (80%-County/20%-Business Match)

The Façade/Property Improvement Grant Program is intended to remove blight along BMSD’s

commercial corridors by assisting businesses and commercial property owners in improving

building aesthetics and by bringing commercial sites into conformance with current codes. By

improving the appearance of building façades, the program serves to improve the economic

sustainability and viability of these areas. These improvements increase property values, improve

the marketability of space within the buildings and draw business, customers and residents to the

area.

Owners or tenants of for-profit commercial/industrial structures willing to improve the exterior of

properties located within the program target areas are eligible to apply to the program. Owners

of vacant properties with intent to attract an eligible business to the property are eligible for the

program; however if the property is sold or occupied by an ineligible type within 12 months,

applicant must repay all grant funds. Use of the building must conform to all current codes and

ordinances; non-conforming uses are not eligible. All renovations must undergo Broward County’s

development review and approval process. An applicant may utilize the program in conjunction

with other programs.

3

The following are eligible improvements for façade matching grants:

Exterior painting, re-surfacing,

Restoration of exterior finishes and material

Masonry repairs and tuck pointing

Removal of architecturally inappropriate or incompatible exterior finishes and materials

Repair or replacement of exterior windows and doors

Window flashing and repair

Canopy or awning installation or repair

Installation or repair of exterior signage

Exterior lighting

Parking lot improvements (visible from public road in BMSD)

Decorative fencing and landscaping (visible from public road in BMSD)

Business Development/Redevelopment Grant Program

(50%-County/50%-Business Match)

The Business Development/Redevelopment Grant Program provides BMSD businesses and

property owners with access to flexible financial assistance to help them implement projects that

cannot be undertaken with traditional financing programs. The Development/Redevelopment

Grant Program would assist locally initiated public/private partnerships to leverage investments

in commercial corridor and industrial redevelopment and revitalization projects that would

otherwise not proceed.

It would be the priority for the program to focus limited available capital funding on those projects

that display significant potential for improving economic growth and the creation of jobs. The

application process managed by OESBD will require sufficient information and documentation

indicating a project's performance projections, estimated economic impact and the potential for

job creation. Key areas of focus would include:

Owner-generated funds to be leveraged

Number of direct and indirect (permanent, non-construction) jobs created by the project

Property Value Improvement/Tax Generation

Benefit to BMSD residents, either directly or indirectly, from the project as a result of its

day-to-day operations

Blighted area and/or facility elimination and/or reuse

The program would be available for a wide spectrum of projects from large to smaller scale

projects (in blighted commercial corridors, industrial areas, etc.) and will be both competitive and

consistent with the County’s development priorities in the BMSD community. The program could

be combined with other programs to reduce the economic challenges of redevelopment projects

and increase their investment potential.

4

The following are eligible improvements for business development/redevelopment grants:

Interior painting, re-surfacing

Permanent existing structure improvement such as interior room construction or addition

Restoration or repair of interior finishes and material of walls, ceiling, flooring

Improve/repair/replace of interior lighting

Fire suppression systems

Improvements or replacement of other permanently affixed interior fixtures and/or

business equipment consistent with the current or intended business use

New vertical construction may be considered for the Business Development/Redevelopment

Grant Program only and will be subject to program limits and permanent new job creation

requirements. Permanent new job creation standards will be based on overall project parameters.

Demolition Program (50%-County/50%-Business Match)

The Demolition Program is intended to accelerate the demolition of unsafe and unsuitable

structures to help speed the recovery of the area. The removal of nuisance properties through

demolition increases public safety, improves appearance and enhances property values in

neighborhoods. These activities also clear the path for new development.

The Demolition Program identifies properties for demolition based on physical condition, local

input and other criteria. It would create partnerships with deed holders of unsuitable properties to

increase the number demolished in any given year. The program would provide financial

assistance to deed holders of nuisance properties that seek assistance in demolition. Vacant

properties that are left after the structures have been demolished may be purchased through the

Strategic Land Assembly Program, held for future development, or converted to other productive

uses consistent with development priorities.

and that the parcels are free from code violations/liens; whether the property is being used

in a lawful manner with regard to occupancy, zoning ordinance, and the property

maintenance code; and whether the premises are being kept in a safe decent, safe and

application meeting with the Review Committee to discuss the owner’s conceptual plans

for the property in an informal setting. Owner must bring photos of the property and proof

of financial capability to this meeting. Review Committee will discuss eligibility criteria,

tasks not listed in the specifications. It is not unusual to discover unexpected additional

problems once the work commences. Examples would be unknown underground storage

tanks, unidentified contamination, abandoned utilities or previous work that is not in

compliance with codes and current health and safety standards. Therefore, after a

discussion with the Owner, the grant amount might include a contingency amount. These

funds are only for unforeseen tasks that must be completed as a pre-requisite to the

specified project. The funds will not be dispersed without a written change order signed

by both the Project Manager and the County.
