Business owner hoping for tax incentive for proposed strip mall
A local business owner is asking North Battleford council for a tax incentive for a new strip mall development near 15th Avenue on 100 Street.
Aaron Cadrin on behalf of LPG Holdings said while the city’s tax incentive program is for downtown development, his project is only about a block from the downtown boundary.
“Obviously rules are rules, but I’m trying to show them how a project like this could do wonders for the city of North Battleford in regards to new investment, new infrastructure, new business,” he told battlefordsNOW.
Cadrin said the project will also bring in much more tax revenue for the city and more jobs. Cadrin plans to construct the two-storey strip mall at 1542 100 Street to accommodate up to six businesses. While the project is just outside the downtown boundary, Cadrin said it is on “the key corridor, right on main street in North Battleford, on an empty lot that has been sitting there forever.”
