Downtown Beautification Mini Grant — Now Accepting Applications!

The Cissna Park Development Board is excited to offer the Downtown Beautification Mini Grant to support our local small businesses. This matching grant (up to $1,000 per business) is here to help you make visible upgrades to the exterior of your building — think new doors or windows, updated signage, fresh awnings, murals, and more.

Applications are open now through June 30th, 2025, and all project work must be completed by December 31st, 2025.

Businesses located in the downtown district — from the Legion to the Bank Drive Up on Rt. 49 and Carle Clinic to Rust Chevrolet on Garfield Street, including Railroad & Firelane Ave. — are eligible to apply. Other local businesses within city limits may also be considered.

Our goal is simple: to help make Cissna Park even more inviting, beautiful, and vibrant.
