SIP

The Storefront Improvement Program

The Storefront Improvement Program (SIP) was created in 1986, and is designed to enhance and revitalize commercial neighborhoods throughout the City of San Diego. As part of a comprehensive approach to small business assistance and neighborhood revitalization, the City of San Diego will rebate small businesses or property owners as an incentive to improve their storefronts consistent with design standards for their commercial areas.

The Storefront Improvement Program stimulates private investment and customer patronage in the City’s commercial districts by focusing on revitalizing building facades visible to customers, neighboring merchants, and residents.

Very Important: Applicant must sign an agreement with the city before any work commences on the project.
