Downtown CIP continued for one more year

A program designed to fix up aging businesses and buildings in downtown Kenora is being continued for at least one more year.

Kenora City Council approved the Community Improvement Plan extension in its budget deliberations earlier this month.

Over the past three years about 200 thousand dollars in grants have been handed out to enhance the downtown core, with facade improvement and new signage.

Council has agreed to top up the budget for the Downtown CIP to 100 thousand dollars this year.
