What is a Community Improvement Plan?

A Community Improvement Plan is a tool under the Planning Act which allows municipalities to provide stimulus funding in support of economic development and/or community revitalization initiatives. The Community Improvement Plan will describe the nature of eligible projects, funding programs and timelines. The Community Improvement Plan will allow the Township to direct funding programs toward projects and issues that are unique to the Village of Havelock. Examples of improvements that can be funded through a Community Improvement Plan include:

Downtown revitalization
Preservation and adaptive re-use of heritage and industrial buildings
Environmental assessment, remediation and redevelopment of Brownfields
Commercial building façade improvements
Project feasibility studies
Space conversion for residential and commercial uses
