The Façade Grant Program is funded and administered by the Downtown Development Authority of Bainbridge (DDA).  Monies are available for exterior improvements only, and may be applied to a front, side or rear façade, provided the façade faces a public street or parking area.  The program is designed to give property owners and business owner’s financial assistance for façade improvements.​

The Downtown Development Authority of Bainbridge assists prospective buyers and/or property owners by providing a façade rendering of a downtown building.  The rendering provides design assistance to potential developers and showcases the importance of rehabilitating our historic structures.

The City of Bainbridge is offering to new businesses the opportunity to waive gas and water deposit fees.  In addition, the City of Bainbridge will waive permit fees on major rehabilitation projects that exceed $10,000 within the Central Business District.
