Nipawin business improvement district future unclear
The future of Nipawin’s business improvement district (BID) is unknown after the board decided to disolve on Wednesday.
At Nipawin town council’s meeting on Monday, councillors agreed to provide the BID with $50,000 in funding from the 2018 budget. The BID committee met on Wednesday where the board members chose to turn over the organization to the town. Nipawin’s chief administrative officer Barry Elliott said the organization still exists on paper.
“The funding is still on the books as part of the budget,” Elliott said.
Council has a couple options, Elliott said they could advertise to replace the board members or cease operations. He said the town respects the work the committee did and hopes there is a resolution.
