Downtown Shop Owners Polled

Businesses in Fort Frances' downtown are being asked if they want to participate in a recycling program.

The Fort Frances Business Improvement Association had asked its members being included in curbside pick-up now provided to residential areas.

The town feels its a service businesses should be paying for.

The B.I.A. is now polling businesses, asking if they would support a blue-box program costing them $42-per-year or if the town should be providing the service at no cost or paid out of its yearly taxes.
