stay young or to remain involved in com munity activities This urge to stay young is reflected in our culture at every turn It can be seen in our sports in our music and hundreds of other ac tivities It is just not recent develop ment but dates back to the origins of man can remember learning as child of the search which the great Spanish ex plorer Ponce de Leon made in his explorations of Florida to locate the Fountain of Youth in order to remain eternally youthful Just like people our com munities age with the years Like people the downtowns of our towns and villages take on worn out look because of the relentless forces of nature Like people our downtowns need rejuvenation or renewal Some people resort to cosmetics change others take their daily intake of iron defiency vitamins Housing minister John Rhodes has introduced basic means by which Ontario com munities can move to bring new life to their downtown cores through the Ontario Downtown Revitalization Program The goals of this program are to update and to improve the main streets of Ontarios cen tres whose population does not exceed 125000 In such way more business will be attracted to the stores which make up our downtowns More business will stabilize and improve the property and business tax base Ecomonics is not the only purpose By fixing up store fronts simply and economically you bring shop pers to the downtown and add to the social and cultural op portunities of any given com munity How is this program to be financed The province will pay for twothirds by partially recoverable loans to the municipality By improving the store fronts of number of given buildings or by con structing minimall such projects should produce more revenue through rents or taxes Mr Rhodes pointed out that the improvement or relocation of sewer services or roads the acquisition andor clearance of land for revitalizing down town are excellent examples of prgjects eligible for financial a1 Repayment of the loan is dependent upon new revenue being generated by the municipality These monies may come from lease of cleared land or sale of buildings from the project Regardless twothirds of such funds would revert to the province and one third to the community After that the process is reversed and the local government concerned en ds up with twothirds and the province onethird usually put aside to pay off the loan To be eligible for this program there must be widespread council and public support As well the project must be economically feasible and completed within years The municipality applying must have an official plan and the approved occupancy stan dard byIaw The intent of tne program is to improve downtowns fitting the best of the past in with new and contemporary designs for businesses It is not aimed at restructuring downtowns and utting completely different ace on them Downtown projects need not be gigantic face lifts but well planned and effective uses of space to make shoppers feel comfortable and relaxed Such revitalization projects should reflect spirit of humanity sense of human scale Achieving such goal means that your community has gained its Fountain of Eternal Youth
