Apply for a Facade Makeover

Bring your storefront dreams to life — with support from your community.

The RSPP Facade Squad is accepting applications from businesses and property owners along the San Pedro Dr. MainStreet corridor who want to improve their storefronts and make the corridor more beautiful, walkable, and welcoming. If selected, you’ll work with our volunteer Facade Squad, design professionals, and community partners to complete a custom improvement project — at no cost to you.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for ideas — not blueprints.

You don’t need a detailed plan. Just tell us what you’d like to improve: paint, signage, lighting, windows, planters, or other exterior enhancements. We’ll help bring it to life.

Eligibility

✅ Located along San Pedro Dr. Main Street Corridor between Central Ave. and I-40. (Check the map to assess eligibility. If you are located in the red area, you are eligible.)

✅ Commercial or mixed-use building with an active business

✅ Owner or tenant (with owner approval)

✅ Willingness to participate in planning and coordination

What You’ll Get

Collaborative design support
Volunteer-powered installation
Materials and project coordination covered
Increased visibility and curb appeal
Public recognition and promotion

Applications are open through July 31, 2025.

Selected businesses will be notified in early August. Improvements will be completed in Fall 2025.

💡 Pro Tip: We recommend writing your answers in a separate document first, then copying and pasting them into the application form. This will give you time to think through your ideas, avoid losing work if your browser refreshes, and ensure the strongest application possible.
If you need assistance or have questions, please contact our Executive Director, Adrian N. Carver at adrian@sanpedroabq.org or 505-221-6667.
