The program is modeled after the successful program of the Midtown Benefits District and will use the same contractor, BWI Management. Originally, the Board figured we could only do this if we got our surtax increase approved. But the July check from the City for surtax revenue was higher than expected, and we finished the year with about $75K in checking. We decided that we could allocate an additional $50K to the program and start it in September. We don't think we have the funds to sustain this for the whole year, but we're hoping that if this program is successful and well-funded to start with, that then the Hopkins Community Partnership Initiative will award grants to allow the program to continue. I think this is great news for the community!
