Council Weighs In On MRA For Downtown White Rock
During the council work session, MainStreet Revitalization Specialist Amy Bell gave an example of how a Metropolitan Redevelopment Act (MRA) can be utilized.

Through the MRA support for business development, a brewery was opened on the property. Courtesy/LAC
