About the Construction Impact Relief Grant Program

Downtown Austin is experiencing unprecedented transformation in response to its explosive growth. To maintain downtown’s vibrancy and economic stability during construction, business support programs like the Construction Impact Relief Grant aim to support local storefront businesses directly affected by construction through direct funding, technical assistance, marketing support, signage, and temporary installations.

Purpose

The grant is a reimbursable expense program up to $10,000 and is designed to help businesses remain open, retain employees, and continue contributing to the vibrancy and diversity of downtown while the city invests in essential long-term infrastructure improvements.

Businesses qualify for support if they are located within the Downtown Austin Public Improvement District (DPID), located on a construction corridor or 1-block adjacent from construction, or on construction haul routes.
