Melfort moves closer to Business Improvement District
Entrepreneurs in Melfort have decided to push forward with a proposed Business Improvement District (BID).
During a public meeting Tuesday at the Legion, business owners in attendance voted on a motion for the Melfort Business Revitalization Corporation (MBRC) to propose the BID to city council. Community development officer Brent Lutz, is also a board member of the MBRC, he said his organization was motivated by the crowd.
“We were glad to hear someone put forward specific direction and for them to show support for it,” Lutz said.
The motion concluded a pair of meetings over the past couple weeks. The MBRC was developed when Melfort received Main Street Saskatchewan funding, which was eventually cut from the provincial budget.
