Funds: The City of St. Louis has allocated $37 Million of Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) to the St. Louis Development Corporation (SLDC), passed through the Community Development Administration, for the administration of a North St. Louis Commercial Corridor Grant Program as defined within Board Bill 82.

Small Business Stabilization & Expansion Grants: Small businesses and nonprofits along each corridor can apply for operational support for a business to maintain standard operations (stabilization); to support the growth of the business and its ability to scale and respond to market opportunities (expansion); or to make exterior and storefront improvements to enhance the value of their business, while improving the quality of experience for their customers and improving the vitality of North St. Louis neighborhoods (façade and storefront improvements).
