THREE new grant programs have opened for Frankston businesses.
Applications for shopfront activation grants of up to $20,000 per business are now open.
Kerbside dining grants of up to $2000 and facade improvement grants of up to $5000 are also available once again.
Co-owner of Frankston craft beer bar The Hop Shop, Ed Cox, said receiving the facade improvement and kerbside dining grants last year “provided a huge boost” and helped him start his Playne Street business.
“We knew there were a lot of young families coming to the area – we thought it was the right time for Frankston to get a venue that was more than your regular pub,” Mr Cox said.
The three grant programs are open from 24 May until 25 June.
