Town seeks input on Community Improvement Plan

The Town of Orangeville is preparing a new Community Improvement Plan (CIP) to facilitate and encourage economic growth, sustainable development, and enhancement of underutilized areas. The Town has retained Sierra Planning & Management to consult and prepare the CIP.

A Community Improvement Plan is a tool available to municipalities under the Planning Act to facilitate revitalization and redevelopment efforts in a defined area(s). CIPs enable municipalities to establish grants, loans, and other programs to encourage private sector investment in development and renovation projects that could help to improve areas in accordance with local goals and priorities. Eligible private property owners and businesses can take advantage of the financial incentive programs contained within CIPs to achieve a range of community improvement goals such as improving their property façades and redeveloping property.

You can help to identify specific development and investment needs/opportunities for businesses and properties to address the unique needs of Orangeville by providing your input before June 30, 2021 via an online survey. Share your views in the online survey or visit the project web page for more information at https://www.orangeville.ca/CIP.
