Commission approves façade grant for Sample Road shopping center, caps city contribution at $50,000
Summary
The commission approved an economic development incentive grant for the owner of a multi‑tenant building at 10190–10200 West Sample Road. Owner plans façade repairs and window/door upgrades; project investment exceeds $122,000 and the requested grant will not exceed $50,000.
The Coral Springs City Commission unanimously approved an economic development incentive grant agreement for Lower Coral Pilgrim LTD to renovate the façade and exterior systems of a multi‑tenant property on West Sample Road.
Christie Bartlett presented the application, saying the owner will re‑stucco the facade, add waterproofing and repainting, install hurricane‑impact windows and doors to replace older wooden frames, and repaint roof tiles. Bartlett told commissioners the total owner investment exceeds $122,000 and the grant request was for an amount not to exceed $50,000.
Why it matters: The incentive program supports private façade improvements that the city says promote economic vitality along Sample Road and improve property appearance near the downtown area. The property sits just outside the Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) boundary and currently houses five tenants.
What the commission did: A motion to approve the grant agreement carried unanimously. Staff said the item meets program criteria and the grant will be awarded under existing economic development incentive rules.
Project details: The owner will replace older double doors and wooden frames with hurricane‑impact doors and windows, re‑stucco the exterior to a smooth, modern finish and make roof tile repaint repairs.
Ending: With commission approval, staff will finalize the grant agreement and monitor completion to ensure eligibility conditions are met before disbursing funds.
