Local businesses looking to freshen the appearance of their businesses are invited to apply for the Tumbler Ridge Business Façade Improvement Program, put on by the Tumbler Ridge Chamber and the District of Tumbler Ridge.
“A community that is more appealing to the eye gives its citizens a greater sense of place and pride while also providing a positive image to visitors,” says the grant. “The District of Tumbler Ridge is partnering with the Tumbler Ridge Chamber of Commerce to provide this program as an incentive to building/business owners to improve the character and physical appearance of their buildings. The Business Façade Improvement Program will focus on the physical appearance of the buildings in highly visible areas. Facades and storefronts of the retail and commercial buildings will be considered.”
Funding for the program is provided by Northern Development Initiative Trust.
Eligible projects will get 50 percent reimbursement for projects valued between $2500 and $5000 that will improve the aesthetics of commercial areas.
And if you applied last year? That’s okay. Each year a building may access the Business Façade Improvement program for new or incremental façade improvements.
Application deadline is August 31, 2024. To find out more, contact the chamber, at tumblerchamber@gmail.com or visit www.districtoftumblerridge.ca.
