New businesses offered incentives
in Washington Borough by WBID 

New businesses - or businesses looking to relocate -  and wanting to take advantage of the new-look downtown in Washington Borough have been pleased to find out that the Washington Business Improvement District (WBID) is offering a host of monetary incentives.

Washington Borough has just about completed its $1.85 million streetscape project, which includes new sidewalks, light posts and other pedestrian-friendly features. In addition, trees along Washington Avenue are scheduled to be planted in the coming weeks.

Selected new businesses are eligible to receive up to $2000 for fit-out projects, up to $1000 for new signage and other exterior improvements matched 1-to-1 through the Façade Improvement Program, and complimentary exposure on the Borough website for six months. Businesses are also assisted with grand opening preparations and other benefits.

The Façade Improvement Program could include complete façade renovation, new signs, awnings and lightings.

"The WBID is anxious to welcome new businesses to the Borough," said Jim Sheldon, Executive Director of the WBID.  "The downtown has visually changed overnight. It is a fresh and exciting look."
