Investing in the Look, Feel & Character of Brian Head
Brian Head's businesses are an important part of what makes our mountain community a special place to live, work, and visit. The Business Beautification & Dark Sky Program provides an opportunity for local businesses to partner with Brian Head Town on improvements that enhance the appearance of our commercial areas and preserve the natural beauty of our mountain environment.
Through this program, eligible businesses may apply for a Town grant to assist with exterior improvements that support the Town Council's goal to "Improve the First Impression of Brian Head" or projects that retrofit exterior lighting to comply with the Town's Dark Sky lighting provisions. The Town will fund up to a maximum of four grants of $2,500 p/grant.
π² Two Opportunities. One Shared Vision.
The Business Beautification & Dark Sky Program supports two primary types of projects:
πΏ Business Beautification
Businesses may apply for funding assistance for exterior improvements that help enhance the appearance of their property and contribute to a more attractive and welcoming commercial core.
Potential improvements may include projects such as:
