Community Beautification

Local Business Beautification Loan

Interest-Free Loans Available to Help Beautify your Property!

In partnership with Community Futures West Yellowhead, interest-free loans are available to all local businesses (retail, commercial, or industry) for the purpose of renovating store frontages. In compliance with the themes established as a part of the Town’s overall Community Beautification and Revitalization Strategy, the intention is to develop an attractive community with a unique and natural mountain identity.

The Town of Grande Cache would like to encourage local property owners and businesses to participate in our Beautification process by revitalizing your storefronts. By working with natural materials, you can upgrade your facades to compliment our overall beautification goals.

“As part of an overall Vision for our future, the Town of Grande Cache recognizes the importance of a vibrant and appealing business community – both in terms of meeting residents’ needs as well as promoting and enhancing tourism.”
- Mayor Louise Krewusik

Community Futures West Yellowhead has worked with the Town of Grande Cache to develop a Community Beautification Loan for local businesses to access in order to help with beautifying your store frontage to complement our Beautification and Revitalization Strategy. This may include repairs, painting, or entire new facades. This loan has been enhanced from the previous state eliminating the maximum amount borrowed.

The loan administered through Community Futures is over three-years, and if approved, is interest-free to the business. If the renovation plans meet the Town’s beautification standards as set out in our Beautification and Revitalization Strategy, and is approved by Council, the Town of Grande Cache will incur all interest costs over the three years of the loan.

Assistance with design ideas for your property is available through the Town and EDS Group, the firm we have been working with to accomplish our beautification goals.
