Collective efforts building a revitalized Downtown New Westminster
NEW Program Guidelines: COVID-19 response
We have changed the scope and criteria for this grant program to support Downtown New West BIA members in making improvements to their businesses in order to ensure physical distancing and to abide by provincial health orders.
Eligible improvements/enhancements can include but are not limited to:
- Signage: floor decals, window signage, instructional signage
- Barriers to protect staff & customers: plexiglass or other appropriate barriers to ensure physical distancing
- Graffiti removal or exterior improvements to your business
The Downtown New West BIA will consider granting funds up to $750 per business.

We've made applying much easier, simply email Angie Whitfield, Programs & Events Manager with the following information:
