The business group is planning a $24,000 deficit this year

After years of shelling out for private security patrols of the city core, the Downtown Association has decided to let city police handle the job.

"They'll have a station downtown," Rosset said. "We felt that, just looking at that bottom line, we were having more expenses than we were comfortable with. "So we thought that was one that we can trim off to try and get that bottom line more favourable," Rosset said. But the assessments paid by its members won't be raised in 2024 because manu of them expect a rough year with the Queen St. reconstruction.The Downtown Association's budget still requires city council approval."We're also looking at some some grant opportunities and other funding opportunities to do something there," he said.
