City Increases Funding to Fix Up Downtown Businesses

Businesses in downtown Kenora will have access to a little bit more money to help fix up their buildings.

Kenora City Council has tentatively approved an additional 50 thousand dollars for the Harbourtown Community Improvement Fund.

Initially council had approved 100 thousand dollars in the 2013 budget, but a couple of major projects, including the Lake of the Woods Brewing Company ate up a lion's share of the money that was available this  year.

The CIP fund allows businesses or building owners to access money to fix up their facades or install  new signage.
