Just a reminder that businesses in Vinton can apply for a Business Improvement Grant (BIG). The BIG Program is made possible by funds received through the Hotel Occupancy Tax program within the City of Vinton.
The objectives of the program are 1) to support rehabilitation and preservation of commercial property; 2) encourage new business; and 3) retain, revitalize and expand an existing business in Vinton.
The program is designed to provide financial assistance to commercial businesses within the city limits. Assistance is available in the following categories: acquisition assistance, awning & signage, commercial exterior, commercial interior, education, faade and HVAC.
The Business Improvement Grant Program is administered by the City Administrator. All applications will be reviewed by the City Administrator and sent to the City Council for approval. The name of the applicant, assistance value and the proposed project will be placed on the council agenda and discussed at the meeting. Funds will be paid only upon the completion of the approved project and after third party claims are verified and submitted to the City. All payments will be made at the time the City makes regular claim payments.
Grants are only available while funds exist for the project. If funds are unavailable, the application may be held until funds are received from the State of Iowa at the next quarterly distribution.
Applications can be submitted at any time and are held until funds are available. Download the program details and the application.
