Before And After

East Side Businesses Reborn

East Side entrepreneurs use the storefront grant to breathe new life into spaces that have been overlooked for years. With a fresh look comes a renewed sense of pride—customers begin returning, neighbors take notice, and what starts as a small investment blossoms into a ripple of encouragement for the whole block.

" With SAGE's help, we turned an old, worn-down building into a beautiful space that reflects our business and our pride in the neighborhood."
