TLTI Briefs
TLTI accepting applications for Community Improvement Plan
The Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands has announced that applications are now being accepted for the 2024 Community Improvement Plan.
The plan offers grants for a total of five financial incentive programs. The goal is to enhance one’s business or property and contribute to the overall improvement of the community.
The spring intake is open until May 31 at 4:30 p.m.
A Community Improvement Plan (CIP) is a tool used by municipalities in Ontario to guide investment, development and revitalization initiatives. A CIP can focus on addressing a range of issues such as main street revitalization, affordable housing development, tourism or brownfield redevelopment through the administration of incentive programs and municipal initiatives.
The CIP applies to the entire township with area-specific criteria.
“This is big for the community,” said Deputy Mayor Terry Fodey.
“With this, along with the new subdivision that will bring more homes and residents to the area, things are looking up for TLTI.”
Applicants must be the owner of the property in order to apply for the CIP. If the applicant is not the owner of the lands, they must provide written consent from the owner to submit the application on their behalf.
To submit an application, contact the Township’s Planning staff, as staff will review the proposed project and discuss specific application requirements.
For inquires, contact Lindsay Lambert, senior planner, at 613-659-2415, ext. 226. Or email seniorplanner@townshipleeds.on.ca.
