Andover Business Improvement Grant
The 2025 Grant Cycle is open March 1 - April 15!
The Andover City Council has budgeted for grants to be awarded to businesses throughout Andover in 2025. This is the ninth year of the Andover Business Improvement Grant program. The program's goal is to support local businesses through funding to make exterior building repairs or façade improvements, to replace legally non-conforming signs, to increase landscaping specifically in areas adjacent to sidewalks, to make ADA compliance improvements, or to make any improvements to the exterior of the business that makes the environment more pleasant for non-motorists.
