The District of Kitimat is supporting local businesses through the Business Façade Improvement Program.

The program, funded through Northern Development Initiative Trust, provides approved businesses up to 50 per cent of the cost of their exterior improvements, to a maximum of $5,000. Funding is allocated on a first come-first serve basis.

The grant is a reimbursement to businesses which are approved, and work must take place in the 2024 calendar year.

“Promoting a vibrant community and rejuvenating our commercial areas is a top priority of the District of Kitimat,” says Mayor Phil Germuth. “I hope local businesses feel encouraged to invest in their buildings through this grant to make our community look even better.”

Eligible improvements can include new exterior lighting, new siding, building signage, and accessibility improvements, among others.

Businesses are encouraged to visit www.kitimat.ca/incentives to learn more about the program and how to apply.
