The City of Burien is launching a new grant program to mitigate financial hardship and support the economic recovery of small businesses that have experienced property damage to their storefronts.
Through the Storefront Repair Grant Program, small businesses can apply for grant funding up to $1,000 to help cover the cost of repairing broken storefront windows or door glass that occurred on or after March 31, 2021.
The City received $10.8 million in federal funds from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) State and Local Federal Relief Funds (SLFRF) to provide direct relief to individuals and businesses in recovering from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. On September 12, 2022, the Burien City Council approved an implementation plan for use of ARPA funding to include the creation of the Storefront Repair Grant Program.
