For the owners, the project means access to free labor. For the students, it provides not just theoretical class work but real-world experience... A federal grant will provide up to $10,000 in matching funds per storefront for supplies to improve building exteriors. Owners must pay half the cost for labor...The project could save store owners thousands of dollars
