The Township of Esquimalt has updated its beautification program to encourage more businesses to sign up, in a bid to improve its streetscape.
The business façade improvement program is to help revamp the look of existing business fronts, offering up to $2,000 for each project.
"If you weren’t essentially developing a new building, it was difficult to demonstrate an increase in the property tax and thus get any property tax relief," said Fort Properties owner Suzanne Bradbury about the old program. Bradbury says they have more work to do and will be among the businesses applying for the new grant – after being turned down under the old system.
