MacBain, the city representative on: . the committee, told Castlegar council that downtown businessmen felt neither they nor the city can afford the program's $385,000 cost at this time. Instead, improvements to the down- town core will be made over the next several years using funds from the city’s maintenance budget for the downtown area and funding from the A 's “It will be phased in over a greater amount of time,” MacBain: explained. He said he met with the revitilization committee Friday to discuss the city's offer to pay for 80 per cent of the cost of the revitilization plan. The city’ made the offer in a bid to get the plan off the ground after the committee's initial application for a low MacBain said the ft “didn't want to impose an additional debt on the city by borrowing money” for the program and also felt downtown busi- nesses could not raise the remaining 70 per cent of the funding — about 10,000. Under the province's Downtown Program, may borrow up to 75 per cent of the cost of renovating the downtown core. However, city administrator Larry Cruikshank said the loan would ‘have been repaid over 20 years and the cost would have doubled ih that time. “We just couldn't afford it,” said MacBain. “It was by far the best solution we could get.” Under the new plan, the committee will scrap its loan application to the Downtown Revitilization Program. MacBain said the city will put about $8,000 in its maintenance budget for downtown improvements this year — the same as last year. The city and DBA have already undertaken several improvement proj- ects in the downtown area, including the small plaza between Dixie Lee and the Marlane Hotel. MacBain said similar projects will be carried out over the next few years.
