Jim Lofgren, President, Pelham Chamber of Commerce

We are thrilled to announce the winners of the Downtown Improvement Grant (DIG), the beautification initiative of our Pelham downtown, that has been an important objective for the Chamber, our businesses and many residents of Pelham for several years.

The Downtown Improvement Grant for storefront upgrades have been organized by Pelham Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Village of Pelham and the Catalyst of Westchester County. Grantees could receive up to $5,000 to cover up to two-thirds of a project’s costs, and for exceptional or creative applications the grant amount could go up to $10,000.

This $100,000 grant program has now awarded grants to nineteen storefront businesses in downtown Pelham, including landmarks such as Pelham Art Center and The Picture House.

The awarded businesses for the grant are: 

– The Picture House

– Pelham Art Center

– Cantina Lobos

– Pelican Room

– Tig & Peach

– Thrive Barre

– Dr Anne Kossowan Orthodontist

– Lucky of Pelham (Pelham Palace)

– Annie’s Nails

– SOOP

– Marcellos

– Pelham North

– Blue Dog Wines

– Depot Dave

– Honey Notes

– Dannys Cycles

– MG Martins

– Pizza Fenice

– Skylight Kitchen

While upgrades for some businesses have already been completed, other beautification projects are still being worked on and in process. We hope to see all businesses having completed their work by the end of 2025. We are incredibly proud of the enthusiastic response to the DIG grant program and the immediate positive impact it’s having on our downtown businesses.

Thank you to all the business owners, board and members of the Pelham Chamber of Commerce, the Village of Pelham including Mayor Chance Mullen and Shari Rosen Ascher at Westchester County for making this a huge success!
