Two new BIA grants to help beautify uptown By Sheila McBrayne
LEAMINGTON – The Leamington Uptown BIA has teamed up with local businesses to help police fight crime in the uptown core. The BIA has created grant funding to help businesses purchase outside surveillance cameras. The Leamington Uptown BIA will help cover the cost of purchasing and installing security cameras or upgrading/adding to your existing system. The grant will cover 50% of the project cost up to a project total of $1,500 ($750 grant). This is a pilot project with limited funding available. “We took it upon ourselves to sit down with the police and asked them, ‘How can we help you?’ And their response was, ‘cameras’,” stated Leamington Uptown BIA co-ordinator Kelly Baillargeon. In the first two months of the program, five businesses have used the grant and installed cameras. The BIA expects to dramatically increase the number of street-facing and alleyway cameras available to the police to help deter unwanted activity. “The police have already used the cameras outside the Leamington Art Gallery to make an arrest of stolen bikes,” said Baillargeon. “We’re giving police a map of cameras with the understanding they release footage to police on request,” said Baillargeon.
UPLIFT BEAUTIFICATION GRANT
The BIA also created a new UpLIFT grant to help beautify and improve BIA members’ building facades. Property owners or business owners submit a proposal to the Leamington BIA Board of Directors outlining the façade improvements. BIA members are eligible to apply for this grant once a year (as project funding allows). The proposal must include pictures of before the work and after the work is completed. After-pictures must be submitted before the grant is paid. Projects are eligible to receive 50% of the cost of the improvement up to a maximum of $500. For more information on these two grant programs go to the BIA website at leamingtonbia.com
