Some Fort Frances business owners are proposing a revamping of the Downtown Business Improvement Association.
George Emes, one of the proponents, says the plan includes setting up new committees overseeing B.I.A. activities without paid staff.
"Over 67-per cent of our budget is going to our operating expenses," says Emes, "and we think that's far too high. We just can't afford it."
Emes says the plan is not intended to scrap the B.I.A. in its entirety but to get more people involved.
The B.I.A. is to discuss the issue at a meeting Thursday.
