Requirements

• A pilot program established in 2014 by Dallas City Council provides reimbursement grants of up to $30,000 to property owners that invest at least $150,000 in private money (for building improvements).
• At least 51% of the building must be used for the property owner’s business;
• Buildings may not be larger than 10,000 sq. ft..
• This program may partner well with the Property Assessed Clean Energy program for green building system improvements.
