Facade Improvement Program

Facade Improvement Program

The Economic Development Division administers the City of Evanston's Facade Improvement Program. The intent of the Program is to improve the appearance of the façades, the street-facing exteriors of a building, of commercial buildings located throughout the City of Evanston.

Eligible participants of the program include:
property owners of commercial buildings within Evanston;
and tenants leasing ground floor commercial buildings.


Eligible improvements include improvements that contribute to the visual enhancement of the property as viewed from the public right-of-way.  Past projects have included:

- Painting of Exterior Elements
- Replacement of Street-Facing Doors
- Installation of new Exterior Lighting
- Replacement of Storefront Windows
- Restoration of Historic Details
