Cost sharing
If a business is approved to participate in the Street

Option 1: one-time payment
Business pays the full cost of their share. The City will contribute 70% of the cost for the angled configuration and 75% of the parallel configuration, with a maximum City contribution of $30,000 per installation.

The City will not contribute to the purchase of furniture or amenities the business uses to program the space. Businesses are welcome to personalize their installation or construct more than the base design, but do so at their own expense. Any additions to the design are subject to City approval.
