Property Improvement Program (PIP)

The Property Improvement Program (PIP) is a reimbursement grant that helps property owners fund attractive and highly visible enhancements to their properties. To be eligible for a PIP grant, a building must be located within one of the Village’s TIF Districts. The grant reimburses up to 50% of the total project’s construction cost, not to exceed $20,000. PIP is intended to help fund projects that wouldn’t otherwise be possible without this funding. Contact Economic Development ecodev@brookfieldil.gov for more information or to set up your pre-application meeting.
