Capital Project Assistance Funding Business Application

Español

The City of Fort Collins is offering financial assistance to businesses directly impacted by the 2023/2024 College and Trilby Intersection Improvement Project. These payments are intended to help businesses mitigate the negative impacts of this capital construction project during their pandemic recovery.

In 2023 and 2024, the College and Trilby Intersection Improvement Project will affect operations for many businesses in, and near, the College and Trilby corridor. The Economic Health Office will provide one-time payments totaling $2,000 per applying business in the affected construction zone. In order to be eligible for these funds, businesses must put payments toward construction impact mitigation and pandemic recovery efforts. Examples of eligible spending include, marketing support, cleaning, and staff retention efforts. Due to limited availability of funds, awards will be based on eligibility, on a first come, first served basis.
