CARIBOO CHILCOTIN – Spring is here, which means renovation season is just around the corner. That’s good news for businesses throughout the rural areas in the Cariboo Regional District, as funding becomes available to renovate their storefronts. The improvements include facades, signage, murals, architectural features, siding, lighting and awnings. Eligible businesses can receive a maximum reimbursement of $5,000 for the exterior renovations.

Businesses within municipal boundaries are excluded from the program; however, the City of Quesnel, Williams Lake, District of 100 Mile House and District of Wells will be offering the program this year.

The funding comes from the 2018 Business Facade Improvement Program. Its guidelines and application forms can be found on the CRD website under Community Economic Development.
