GRANT A CONTRIBUTION TO EXPÉRIENCE CENTRE-VILLE FOR THE REALIZATION OF ITS ACTIVITIES WHICH WILL SUPPORT THE ACTIVITY OF RETAIL BUSINESSES DURING THE SAINTE-CATHERINE PROJECT WORKS, FOR A MAXIMUM SUM OF $2,700,000 OVER FIVE CONSECUTIVE YEARS FROM 2018-2022, AT A RATE OF $100,000 IN 2018 AND $700,000 ANNUALLY FOR THE YEARS 2019, 2020, 2021 AND $500,000 FOR 2022

This decision authorizes a significant contribution to Expérience Centre-Ville, an organization focused on revitalizing the downtown area. The total contribution amounts to a maximum of $2,700,000, spread over five consecutive years from 2018 to 2022. The funding allocation is structured as follows: $100,000 in 2018, $700,000 annually for 2019, 2020, and 2021, and $500,000 for 2022. This financial support is intended to enable Expérience Centre-Ville to carry out activities aimed at bolstering the operations of retail businesses. These activities are particularly crucial during the period of construction for the Sainte-Catherine Project, which likely involves significant disruptions to the area. By providing this funding, the Ville-Marie borough aims to mitigate the negative impact of the construction works on local businesses and maintain economic vitality in the downtown core. The contribution will help fund initiatives such as marketing campaigns, events, beautification projects, or other support services designed to attract customers and sustain commercial activity. This partnership highlights a commitment to collaborative urban development and economic resilience.
