Business Rates Conference 2016, which was part of the Chambré Public Affairs âEye on the Hillâ series of policy events, provided participants with a unique insight into an important programme of reform. The conference offered context and analysis from the Minister, senior officials, sector leaders and noted experts, the conference is perfectly timed to inform responses to the consultation, which closes a fortnight later. On 26 October 2015, Finance Minister Arlene Foster launched a public consultation on a wide-ranging Review of Northern Ireland's Non-Domestic Rating System. The consultation asks questions that touch upon every sector in Northern Ireland, giving respondents the chance to provide imaginative suggestions to improve how revenue is raised locally. Key questions include whether the 100% exemption for charities should be maintained, and how the system could be changed to better suit the demands of local business. Because of the Departmentâs willingness to engage creatively with the business community and other stakeholders, this consultation represents a rare opportunity to influence major change. Business rating is a vital form of taxation, raising some £592m of revenue for regional and local Government in Northern Ireland. However, it is also a significant expense for the businesses that are the lifeblood of the local economy, and can act as a particular disincentive to smaller enterprises who want to invest and expand. At the other end of the spectrum, charities in Northern Ireland benefit significantly from the current rating system, enjoying a 100% rates exemption.

Street artists from all over the world gathered in Atlanta, GA, this weekend to participate in the Living Walls Conference.
10 steel cylinders sit rusting away. The Great North Sugar Mill in Longmont, Colorado sits abandoned; yet it is always in motion and changing. The walls have transformed into gallery space as urban artists explore the space and leave their visions behind. In the early 1900’s, as many as 600 workers filled the plant as it ran around the clock. The beet sugar industry quickly became very profitable. Decades later though, the outlook had turned as the sugar market became oversaturated. In 1977, the Longmont Sugar factory closed forever. Now the factory sits as a toxic decaying ruin. Inside this very deteriorated building, walls have fallen down, floors have collapsed, and anything salvageable has been removed. Bags of asbestos lay throughout the site alongside pools of PCBs. This space has transformed from a bustling workplace to a haven for explorers and artists alike.
