IMPROVEMENT 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.
Program Area
To be eligible for the Tenant Improvement
Program, a business and/or property must
be located within the Tenant Improvement
Area.
Applicants within the Restaurant Row
Focus Area, shown in pink in the map will
receive additional points in the evaluation
of this application.
Types of Grants
Two types of grants are offered:
DESIGN SERVICES GRANT:
Grant covers 100% of the cost for a
city-contracted architect to help with
concept designs of the dining room
and public areas of the restaurant,
resulting in interior sketches and plans
needed to obtain bids. The final
product will include (3) bids.
IMPROVEMENT GRANT:
(this application)
Grants to cover a portion of
constructing the improvements to the
interior of a building.
