FOSTERING VIBRANCY

Downtown Moncton Centre-ville Inc. (DMCI) has created the Covid-19 Re-Start Grant Program to assist downtown Moncton businesses in adhering to the new procedures outlined by the province.

With businesses now starting to re-open their doors, unexpected costs will occur to keep in line with the government guidelines. We understand that funds are now stretched even further than ever, but we are here to help.

The Covid-19 Re-Start Grant Program can be used to assist in the costs associated with the purchase of safety equipment required under the new guidelines as set out by the NB Chief Medical Officer, WorkSafe NB and the details laid out by the Premier at the recent announcements of the criteria required to open to the public.

Businesses can apply to receive a maximum of $500 (spend it to get it). This is a one-time only grant to assist businesses in the reopening phase only. Under the program, only commercial property and business owners within the Business Improvement Area (BIA) will be considered. Grants will be given on a first-come first-serve basis until the budget allocation has been depleted. They will be valid for the current year only.

On March 19, 2020, Premier Blaine Higgs declared a State of Emergency in New Brunswick due to the COVID-19 pandemic. All retail and public-facing businesses were immediately mandated to close, except for essential service businesses.

This unprecedented situation will impact the operations of many of our downtown businesses for the foreseeable future.  In our effort to keep you connected and informed, with the help of various economic partners, below are links for resources to help you, our downtown businesses, cope with and prepare for the ever-changing situation regarding COVID-19.
