Business Owner Weighs In on B-I-A Denial

A west side business owner says if the numbers of opposition are there, then the Business Improvement Area and Levy should be denied by common council.Colour Centre owner Dorothy Shepard tells CHSJ News, if the number of owners opposing the B-I-A is really one third of those paying into the levy, the Westside Business Association should look at another avenue.
Shepard says she is on record of opposing the levy because she would like to see exactly how the money will be spent.

She says she'd also like something more concrete which would prevent the tax from increasing significantly down the road.
Shepard says she will try and attend tonight's council meeting, where the Common Clerk is advising council to deny the proposal.
