The Economic Development Advisory Committee with the Town of Drumheller are excited to announce six storefront grant recipients for 2018.
The Economic Development Advisory Committee has approved storefront grants to six businesses. These businesses are: Jurassic Ink Tattoo Parlour, S and J fashions, Country Acres: Bits and Baubles, the current Thrift store building, 175 - 3 Ave West, and the Drumheller Learning Centre.
Downtown revitalization has been a priority for the Economic Development Advisory Committee for the last couple of years.
“It is great to have businesses taking up this opportunity to improve their appearance,” explained Mayor Heather Colberg. “The storefront grants are an important economic development initiative to support the development of our town.”
“It’s a great program to help support businesses to complete some renovations,” added Summer Manca, Chair of the Economic Development Advisory Committee. “The committee had a number of quality applications to look through which was exciting to see and we thank all those business owners who applied.”
The Economic Development Advisory Committee is made up of elected officials, members of the administration team at the Town of Drumheller and volunteer members of the business community.
