Additionally, eligible projects may receive professional design assistance with funding capped at $20,000.

Small Projects/Commercial & Business Incentive Program:
This grant provides financial support for interior and exterior improvements to existing or new commercial buildings. Existing businesses can receive up to $15,000, while new or expanded businesses may qualify for up to $20,000. This grant operates on a matching basis.

Lease Subsidy Grant Program:
Aimed at supporting existing businesses and attracting new businesses to Daytona Beach's redevelopment areas, this program offers matching grants to cover up to three months' rent. Individual grants do not exceed $1,500 per month. Certain restrictions and requirements apply.
