Road Renaming Business Assistance Program

The Loudoun County Road Renaming Business Assistance Program is designed to assist businesses impacted by the renaming of several streets and roads in Loudoun County. The program is open to for-profit and nonprofit businesses with a registered address on a street that has been or will be renamed at the direction of the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors. The program includes a one-time grant and a sign reimbursement grant.

One-Time Grant

Home-based businesses are eligible for a one-time grant of $500.
Businesses in commercial spaces or nonprofits are eligible for a one-time grant of $750.
Receipts are not required for the one-time grant.

A sign reimbursement grant of up to $5,000 is available for businesses or nonprofits that require modification or replacement of storefront or free-standing or vehicle signs that show the full address of the business or property. Sign reimbursement grants will be processed independently of the one-time grants.

FAQs

Will I have to pay taxes on the grant?

Yes. The IRS considers business grants as revenue for tax purposes. The money from the grant should be included when calculating the business’s taxable income. If your business receives funding and still operates at a loss this year, then it will not have a taxable income because it operated at a loss.
