Grant money offered for security cameras by City of Philadelphia to Philadelphia business owners

In an effort to assist Philadelphia based businesses make the city and their surrounding areas safer, and to assist with reducing crime and catching criminals, the city has started offering grants to Philadelphia business owners who install exterior surveillance camera systems.  The city will give a grant of 50% (based on paperwork needing to be filled out by the owner) of the installation of an exterior security camera / DVR system with the grant being worth up to $3000 ($6000 camera system).  This is a great opportunity for businesses that wanted to better protect their businesses with cameras but didnt have the upfront money needed to get these systems with the out of pocket only being 50% of the total investment.  Philadelphia is trying to take back the streets and make them safe with this excellent program.  Of course there are terms and conditions (which I can forward to you if you contact me directly).  Please feel free to contact me at cfnydick@verizon.net or 215-264-4234 for more information and assistance.  Thank you and be safe!
