Year Long Greening: An Ambitious Project for Montréal centre-ville
The primary mandate of the Business Development Corporation (SDC) Montréal centre-ville is to stimulate economic development in the area and promote the improvement of the living environment
That’s why we’re committed to an ambitious greening project. It aims to transform the main commercial arteries of downtown into greener, more welcoming, and environmentally friendly environments, 365 days a year.
