Housing Improvement Programs Available

The town of Fort Frances is looking for interest in some local housing improvement programs.

The programs were put in place a couple of years ago to help those improve or remove derelict homes.

Spokesperson Tannis Drysdale says there are some incentives.

"We can help walk you through a process where you can receive some tax grants back on your property," says Drysdale, "if you are in one of those situations that the home or property you have has a building that needs to come down. The town will be happy to partner with you if you apply to cover some of the costs to take some of the refuge to the dump."

The program are delivered through the Rainy River Future Development Corporation.
