The City of Penticton says it has come up with a package of financial relief options for residents and business owners impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.
The relief options, said the city, include a 60-day property tax deferral, a one-time grant for property taxes and utility relief.
The package was announced on Friday following a special city council meeting on Thursday. The city said data from a recent survey was taken into consideration during the meeting. “Many of you throughout our community have been hit hard financially,” Penticton mayor John Vassilaki said in a press release. “We hear you and we are deeply grateful for all the feedback you have provided as we work toward our city’s relief and recovery.
