The Village of Westmont announced the 2024 Downtown Incentive Program (DIP) that provides matching grants to qualifying downtown Central Business District business owners and commercial/ mixed-use property owners to help cover costs for improvements that include signage, facade, exterior accessibility, and fi re suppression systems. Qualifying projects begin at $5,000, and grant awards can be up to $20,000. Grants typically cover 10% to 25% of eligible expenses, but incentive bonuses may increase the match up to 50%.
