Re: Antique lights on the Donlands
Date: November 18th, 1999
The businesses on the Donlands are interested in having antique lights installed in order to beautify the area. Through
Economic Development, $10,000 has already been secured towards this end. However, an Economic Development policy
indicates that in order for a business community to receive a premium upgrade, it is necessary for the community to pay
25% of the cost.
The small-scale businesses on the Donlands are unable to contribute 25% of the cost.
I am writing to request your support in recommending to Economic Development the waiving of this policy in this
instance, such that the allocated $10,000 may be spent to install four antique lights in the vicinity of the Donlands
businesses.
Thank-you for your assistance with this matter.
Best Regards,
Councillor Jane Pitfield
