Façade & Signage Program

Sponsored by the Byerly Foundation, this program provides funding to be used by downtown businesses for replacement of exterior signage and repainting of building exteriors. This program provides up to 60% of costs not to exceed $1,000 unless pre-approval or special conditions warrant (i.e. large building with two facades and awnings or a corner building). To learn more or apply to the program visit this online form.

Outdoor Dining

Provided by the Hartsville Parking, Beautification & Business Improvement Commission, this incentive provides tables, chairs, umbrellas (navy, yellow, black) and stands to be set up outside of your restaurant or shop.

Business Beautification Program

Also provided by the Hartsville Parking, Beautification & Business Improvement Commission, this incentive provides items such as planters or window boxes, benches, chairs, joggling boards or other approved items of interest that may encourage shoppers to enjoy your business and venture inside.

Bailey Bill

The Bailey Bill is used by the city as an economic development tool that enables historically designated property owners to freeze property taxes for a set number of years. Once the property has been rehabilitated, the property taxes do not reflect the improved value. This tool encourages improvements to historic buildings to help offset increased rehabilitation costs that can be associated with historic properties.
