Does your retail business seek to achieve a high-quality interior buildout and/or cover rent expenses? The intent of the DTO Retail Program is to activate spaces within the downtown Orlando Community Redevelopment Area and establish the Area within Downtown Orlando as a retail destination, to attract locals and visitors to visit downtown Orlando as well as attract new retail and encourage expansion of existing retail by reimbursing costs associated with interior buildout and rent of a newly leased property.
