The District of 100 Mile House is now accepting applications for its Business Facade Improvement Program, funded by Northern Development Initiative Trust.
Up to $20,000 is available to cost share 50/50 with area businesses, to a total of $5,000 funding per building, upon approved application to the District.
The program is intended to encourage investment in improving the aesthetics of storefronts in the municipality.
Mayor Mitch Campsall says the timeliness of the program could not be better.
“Spring is a great time to think about sprucing up our downtown storefronts – just in time for our tourist season.
“Improving our commercial facades will enhance our downtown core for walking and shopping, help to attract and retain commercial tenants, stimulate local construction and the overall economy, and showcase our civic pride.”
Applicants are advised to check eligibility requirements with the District at 250-395-2434 before applying. The application packages are online at www.100milehouse.com, under News & Events.
All applications submitted must include project designs and cost estimates.
