Northlake Town Council voted 4-2 on Thursday in favor of mailing out $25 gift cards that residents can use at local businesses affected by construction along Highway 114.

“There are several businesses that have suffered from a lack of visits due to the 114 construction project,” said Northlake Mayor Brian Montini. “I hope this will encourage you to visit one of these businesses that you may have avoided or never tried out.”

The Town will mail the gift cards out to almost 6,000 households within Northlake town limits, including apartments and homes.

Funds for the gift cards come from a portion of the sales tax received by the Northlake Economic Development Corporation and Community Development Corporation. According to Montini, the funds, by law, can’t be used to fund roads or police.
