The City of Dearborn Economic Development Department and the Dix-Vernor Business District Improvement Authority (DVBDIA) are establishing a corridor-wide facade improvement program for its entire area of operations using available CDBG resources. Through this program, businesses will be able to improve their exterior appearance in order to raise the quality of life through job creation and retention, blight prevention, and an increase in amenities that promote a livable and walkable community.
