  4. The City of Las Cruces, through the Economic Development Department, is leveraging up to $400,000 in federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to support the economic recovery of small businesses who experienced property damage as a result of the negative economic impacts of the COVID-10 pandemic.

    Through the Small Business Storefront Repair Program, small businesses can apply for up to $2,500 in grant funding to help repair storefront property damages that occurred on or after January 1, 2021.

    Storefront Repair funds will help cover costs to repair current property damage or reimburse business owners for costs paid out of pocket for past damages. Eligible property damages include but are not limited to broken windows, broken doors, graffiti, broken locks, damage to landscaping and etching on windows. This grant will not cover loss of stolen goods or preventive measures such as guards, cameras or window or door coverings.

    The City of Las Cruces will accept applications from small businesses on a continued basis until all funding has been spent. Only one application may be submitted per business, business owner, EIN, SSN, UBI number, business license number, home and/or business address.  If all funds are not expended by February 1, 2024, the City will consider a second round of funding which would be open to previous grant recipients.

    Applicants are encouraged to review the eligibility, required documentation, selection process and additional information below before applying. All ARPA funding is subject to municipal, state and federal audit requirements.
