About this grant
Three-year forgivable loans that work like grants for façade, storefront and streetscape improvements to businesses in Memphis inner-city neighborhood business districts; interior work may also qualify. An EDGE-retained architect helps prepare plans, and the applicant covers one-third of construction costs.
