A west side auto shop in Spring Valley will receive city assistance for building improvements, following a unanimous vote on Tuesday by the Spring Valley City Council.

Council members unanimously approved a $7,500 redevelopment grant for Spring Valley Auto Shop, located at 500 W. First St.

The funds will reimburse the business for the installation of new windows, Mayor Melanie Malooley-Thompson confirmed.

The grant is part of the city’s ongoing redevelopment incentive program, which supports commercial property owners making improvements such as facade repairs, signage, and window upgrades.

The program is meant to help businesses fix up their buildings and make the city’s commercial areas look better.

The city has awarded several similar grants in recent months as part of its revitalization push, including recently to a business along St. Paul Street.
