Terrace City Council is preparing a proposal which could see them help to fund security improvements for downtown businesses.
In June, it was suggested that council consider a program similar to the Northern Development Initiative Trust’s Facade Improvement Program to to assists businesses in limiting criminal activity.
Now, City staff are considering a 10 thousand dollar program which would see them assist with 50/50 funding with businesses for security improvements, up to a maximum of 1 thousand dollars each.
The Terrace Downtown Improvement Area has also offered to supply 200 dollars to projects of 400 dollars or more as part of the program.
The proposal will be brought forward at the City’s 2019 budgetary meeting on Wednesday.
