Small businesses are part of what makes our Salt Lake City neighborhoods feel connected, active, and cared for. We’re listening to the challenges they’re facing and finding practical ways the City can help, like paying for business repairs to fix property damage.

To do that, we’re launching the Business Stabilization Program. Applications for grants are open to small businesses in SLC’s target area until all funds are spent. Learn more and apply at link.slc.gov/repairs or the link in bio.

If you’re a small business owner, we know you have a lot on your plate and your time is valuable. Other City resources are available to support you, like:
🏦 Business loans
🎨 Facade grants
🚧 Construction Mitigation Grants
🧽 Graffiti cleanup by the Clean City Team via mySLC app by @slcecondev
