The City of Sacramento is awarding nearly $1.7 million in grants and loans to support North Sacramento businesses, with the goal of revitalizing commercial corridors and promoting economic growth in the community.  

The North Sacramento Business Investment Program, managed by the City’s Office of Innovation and Economic Development, was available to District 2 businesses and property owners. It provides funding for businesses to complete tenant improvements and purchase equipment needed to scale and grow their operations. It also provides funding for property owners to restore vacant buildings and prepare them for tenancy.     

“These awards are another critical step toward creating lasting economic opportunity in our community,” said Councilmember Roger Dickinson, who represents the area. “By supporting small businesses and helping them grow, we are not just revitalizing commercial corridors—we are investing in jobs, equity, and the long-term vitality of North Sacramento.”

The business investment funding is part of a $5 million federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) allocation set aside for North Sacramento. Other ARPA investments include nearly $1 million in façade grants to beautify North Sacramento storefronts and more than $2.3 million in grants and loans to District 2 community-based organizations and businesses.  

These latest awards also build upon the City’s recent $600,000 investment into Marysville-Del Paso Boulevard revitalization initiatives through the Forward Together Pilot Grant Program.
