Community Futures money for downtown beautification
Renfrew County Community Futures Development Corporation board chairman Ted Barron presents $10,000 to Renfrew Business Improvement Area (BIA) treasurer Bob Flynn, left, and chairman Jeff Scott, right, to help with down town beautification.
The BIA is using the money for new street banners (including Canada Day banners), more flowers, a change to more efficient street and tree lights and general beautification projects. Community Futures executive director Diane McKinnon noted Renfrew is renowned all over the Valley for its vibrant downtown. “This is a great project,” she said. “When it comes to beautification, you’re doing it right.” Mercury photo by JOHN CARTER |
