Facade grants offered through BCD program
Bowie Community Development offers improvement grant assistance to local businesses.
Bowie Community Development would like to help give businesses another opportunity to improve upon their facades with an improvement grant. Cindy Roller, executive director, said it is a wonderful way to use funds for beautification and make Bowie attractive for everyone.
