Emergency Business Microgrant Award Criteria
The Omni CRA's mission to prevent conditions giving rise to slum and blight, to reduce crime, and to improve the quality of life
for residents and visitors to the Redevelopment Area, makes the Business Improvement Grant Program an important tool in
improving the district. Grants are generally awarded on a rolling basis as funding permits and the program is renewed each
fiscal year.
Omni CRA's Emergency Business Microgrant Applications are reviewed by CRA staff and recommended to the Executive
Director for award based on a set of criteria, including but not limited to neighborhood of the business, specific commercial
corridor of business, ownership of the property, historical track record of the business owners, employment projections and/or
track record of the business, ability for business to attract visitors to the neighborhood, long term vision and connection to the
neighborhood, ability of business to serve unmet needs of residents and stakeholders in the neighborhood, activation of
underutilized spaces throughout the neighborhood, previous grants awarded to and projected aesthetic or street level
improvements, as well as how impacted the business has been by the emergency closures and changes in economy due to the
Emergency.
Each project application is judged by the Executive Director on its individual merits, and how it fits into the CRA's dynamic
vision for improvement of the neighborhood.
