Temporary patios and outdoor displays to be allowed into next year.
The City of Welland is once again waiving business license fees in an attempt to help local companies affected by the pandemic.
For 2022, all fees except for fire inspection will be waived.
However, businesses are still required to obtain a valid license and complete all required inspections and applications.
Officials also say temporary patios and outdoor displays will continue to be allowed next year.
"We acknowledge that the food service industry has been hit hard, and they’re not alone, as many of our businesses in Welland have felt the effects of COVID-19," said Mayor Frank Campion. "As a council, we need to find ways to help businesses in our city. Waiving these fees keeps more money in the pockets of our businesses while they try to recover, and we’re proud to continue with creative and effective ways to help them do that."
Applications for 2022 patio and outdoor display licensing will be available in early 2022.
