Commercial Facade Improvement Program

A strong downtown business district is essential to the economic health of both Hollister and San Benito County.  The Redevelopment Agency of Hollister is committed to promoting economic vitality and removing blight by providing assistance to business owners.

In many ways, downtown defines the identity and character of Hollister, yet, this older area is vulnerable to decline.  The 2006-07 Commercial Facade Improvement Program, administered by the Redevelopment Agency, provides direct assistance to business and property owners in a public private partnership that benefits both downtown and the City of Hollister as a whole.  An upgraded appearance of storefronts, enhanced business signage, improved ambiance and more appealing environment for investors are some of the benefits of the program.

The City of Hollister Redevelopment Agency has authorized an allocation of $80,000 to the program for Fiscal 2006-2007.  It is intended by the Redevelopment Agency to provide sixty percent (60%) of the allocated funds to large-scale projects (up to $20,000).  The remaining forty percent (40%) shall be utilized for smaller faade improvements.  Assistance can be used for any architectural/engineering costs, building permit fees, or Site and Architectural fees that arise from individual projects.
