DESIGN GRANT APPLICATION
Tenant Improvement Program
FY 2020-21
Purpose
The City of Beaverton and the Beaverton Urban Renewal Agency (BURA) are encouraging
continued revitalization of Old Town Beaverton, which includes increasing the number of
eating and drinking establishments such as; restaurants, brewpubs, brunch eateries, wine bars
and tap rooms. The purpose of Beaverton’s Tenant Improvement (TI) Program is to partner with
food and drink-based business owners and related property owners interested in opening a
new business or renovating/expanding a current business by providing matching interior
construction grants and/or design grants aimed at helping businesses identify the ideal look
and feel for their dining room and other public areas. The intended results of the program are
to increase restaurant options in Beaverton, retain local dining expenditures while increasing
spending from out of town visitors, and to increase Old Town foot traffic.

Improvement Program, a business
and/or property must be located
