one-to-one matching funds for exterior projects.
In order to assist small businesses in creating a positive commercial environment, the City of Cortez is accepting applications for its Cortez Business Beautification Grant. The City may provide a one-to-one matching grant of up to $3,000 for the purchase of materials utilized in the enhancement of a business’s existing façade or primary public entrance.

This is a grant reimbursement program. Pre-approved businesses must complete and pay for proposed projects and then submit receipts/paid invoices along with after-photos of the completed Beautification Project to the City of Cortez to receive grant payment.
Round 1 Grant Funding due on March 1, 2026 and will be awarded on March 13, 2026.
