Dec. 17--COMING TUESDAY: City asks High Street property owners not to use salt on sidewalks.
Morgantown's downtown businesses are beginning to employ the watchful eyes of specialized security cameras to protect their interests.
About three years ago, Main Street Morgantown assembled a downtown taskforce to address the issue of increasing vandalism. The result is the group's Security Camera Grant.
Main Street will give a rebate of up to $1,500 to business owners purchasing a securitycamera system from selected vendors.
"The idea was that we have an 18-hour downtown, with a major component being that we have an entertainment district," said Terri Cutright, MSM executive director. "We found we had challenges such as vandalism to deal with."
Main Street will use money allocated to the group in the city's budget as an incentive to help businesses better protect themselves, she said.
