Is this for you?

  • You are planning exterior painting, awning, or facade upgrades
  • You can secure approval before starting any work or spending money

Probably not the right fit if

  • You are located outside the City of Langley or its designated BIA zone
  • You have already started or finished the exterior work
  • You cannot wait to be reimbursed after paying for the work upfront

How much you'd realistically get

50% reimbursement, up to $500 per stream (exterior painting, awning, facade improvement); awning/signage cleaning at 50% of cost

What may be supported

  • Awning and exterior signage cleaning
  • Exterior storefront painting
  • Awning replacement, re-skinning or re-lettering
  • Facade improvements: lighting, windows, doors and architectural enhancements

How applying works

Effort: mediumA city application with quotes/photos; approval before you start, then claim after completion.

  1. 01Confirm your property is in the program area and funds are available
  2. 02Get the city's written pre-approval BEFORE starting
  3. 03Complete the approved work
  4. 04Submit your costs for reimbursement

Documents commonly required

How BBN Labs helps

  • BBN coordinates trusted painters for your exterior storefront refresh, giving you a clean, modern look that draws more foot traffic.
  • BBN coordinates awning and signage specialists to align your exterior with brand goals and program guidelines.
  • BBN organizes facade improvement contractors for lighting, windows, and doors, upgrading your entrance to welcome more customers.
  • BBN arranges professional cleaning for your awnings and exterior signs, restoring your storefront's shine at half the cost.
  • BBN guides you through the application and deadlines so you don't lose the funding.

What to know before you count on it

  • Cost-share: you pay for the work first, then you're reimbursed (about half) after it's done and inspected.
  • Apply and get approved BEFORE you start any work or buy anything — starting early disqualifies most of these.
  • Area-gated to City of Langley's designated CIP/BIA zone — confirm your address qualifies before you spend.
  • Municipal funding is limited each year — confirm money is still available.

What are your odds?

Area-gated and funding-limited, but a straightforward fit if your City of Langley address qualifies and you apply before starting.

What you can combine it with

May combine with provincial/federal programs for the same project — we'll check what stacks.
