The city of Medicine Hat will be bringing back the Downtown Development Incentive Program for another year. The DDIP is a series of incentives available to downtown property owners to assist them to redevelop or initiate new developments in the city center and includes five options for financial assistance. Keith Crush, Business Development Officer for the City of Medicine Hat says the 2011-2014 and the 2015 program were so successful that City Council approved another year of the DDIP. The City will begin accepting applications for the program on Tuesday, January 6th.
