The Façade Improvement Grant Program, administered by Fernandina Beach Main Street, provides financial support to property and business owners in the downtown historic district who are investing in street facing improvements. Grants are awarded through an application process and are designed to encourage projects that preserve historic character, enhance curb appeal, and contribute to the vitality of downtown.
“We are thrilled to recognize this investment in our community and look forward to celebrating their opening this summer as they become part of the Fernandina Beach Downtown Main Street District” said LuLu Huppmann, Executive Director of Fernandina Beach Main Street.
Since its inception, the program has assisted numerous property owners in revitalizing storefronts and protecting the architectural heritage that makes Fernandina Beach unique.

Investing in a storefront is about more than improving a building—it’s about creating a welcoming experience that encourages people to step inside and come back again. Grants that help local businesses enhance their appearance can have a lasting impact on the entire community by increasing visibility and attracting new customers. Once visitors discover a business, keeping them engaged becomes just as important. Tools like a shopify quiz builder can create a more personalized online shopping experience, helping customers quickly find products that match their preferences while giving businesses valuable insights into what their audience is looking for.
