A new program will help beautify business storefronts in the Main Street and Fredericton Road area of Salisbury.

The storefront beautification grant program was approved by the Salisbury council in May.

The first applications will be accepted starting next week.

It’ll help local businesses with the costs associated with repairs and improvements, including painting, new windows or doors, and landscaping..

Fifty 50 per cent of the cost of approved eligible expenses will be reimbursed up to $3000.
