DMDA District Awning and Signage Grant
The Downtown Marietta Development Authority (DMDA) continuously seeks ways to encourage further economic development in historic Marietta Square and surrounding district properties.

Grant Guidelines and Application (PDF).
Operating a Business Downtown
To preserve the authentic character of the Historic Marietta Square, the Central Business District (CBD) does have unique design requirements each property/business owner must be aware of. Businesses located within the CBD are required to have the design of proposed awnings, signs, and any exterior material changes to the building evaluated by the Historic Board of Review (HBR) prior to City permitting and installation.
