The BBCRA continues to power the revitalization of our downtown—one grant at a time. With a mission to activate vacant commercial spaces, support local entrepreneurs, and build a thriving downtown, the BBCRA’s reimbursable Economic Development Grants are making real impact—matching 50% of project costs to help dreams become reality.
For Fiscal Year 2024-2025, the BBCRA Board committed $1 million to fuel this transformation—and the results speak volumes welcoming 20 new businesses to eastern Boynton Beach.
From vibrant retail spaces to new restaurants and professional offices, the BBCRA’s support added over 25,000 square feet of new commercial activity to the area. These businesses received assistance through Commercial Rent Reimbursement Grants and Commercial Property Improvement Grants, providing a foundation to grow and thrive.
It wasn’t just new businesses seeing a boost. Four existing businesses and two commercial property owners used the grant programs to complete property improvements—impacting more than 95,300 square feet of space across the CRA Area.
Of the $1 million allocated:
- $264,207.48 supported Commercial Rent Reimbursement Grants
- $477,038.57 went to Commercial Property Improvement Grants
Every dollar invested through these grants doesn’t just improve buildings—it builds momentum. The CRA’s commitment to economic development continues to shape a vibrant, job-creating, and business-friendly downtown—right before our eyes.
