The Merritt Community Theater Society, has a published business proposal  that they informally discussed this week at some meetings in the Merritt Civic Center. Interested people included economic development consultants from Kamloops and Mayor and council members.

Rich Hodgson a contact for the group said the group is looking for 5 million dollars to complete the project and have raised enough to buy the property in the Rail yard mall downtown Merritt.

The group said that they will be free from property taxes for five years as would anyone else doing new construction in the downtown. This is an economic development strategy of the city of Merritt.

A source at the city says that the car charger installed in the Voght street parking lot will be free for a time. The city economic development officer  James A.Umpherson, says that they are negotiating with the province and the company to see how that will shake down .

The site is GPS enabled and will eventually be available to smart card use. There is a sign saying the area is video scrutinized. No camera as yet visible. an although the charging cable is attached no one has been seen using it. Something that you would think would have accompanied the start up.
