For façade and signage improvements, please refer to the Storefront Design Guidelines Manual.  If your business is in the Ardmore Historic District, all façade renovations must go through the Historical Architectural Reveiw Board (HARB)  for approval.  This is a separate and independent approval process that applies to exterior changes to the building that can be seen from a public way. Contact Mike Wylie at 610-645-6172 regarding the HARB Application. 

Please contact Lower Merion Economic Development Specialist, Eric Persson  at 610-645-6184 for possible grant funding available for façade renovations within Lower Merion Township.
