The Municipality of Meaford is pleased to announce that the 2018 application intake for grant & loan incentives under the Downtown Community Improvement Plan (CIP) and Economic CIP opened on March 30th. Applications will be accepted through May 18th, 2018, with deliberation and award occurring shortly thereafter.

In addition to the downtown incentive program which has been available since 2013, we are pleased to continue offering programs applicable to commercial, industrial, agricultural, value-added and non-residential heritage lands/buildings outside of the Downtown CIP area.

Additionally, under the Economic CIP, an Energy Efficiency & Retrofit Grant/Loan Program is available to commercial, industrial, agricultural/value-added landowners – including those within the existing Downtown CIP area – to support improvements to energy efficiency, installation of appropriate small-scale renewable energy systems, and the purchase and installation of EnergySTAR certified heating/cooling/ventilation products and energy efficient lighting and controls.

Potential applicants are encouraged to visit the www.meaford.ca/CIP to review the details, terms and conditions for each program. Application forms are available on-line or at the Municipal Administration Office during regular business hours. Pre-submission consultation with staff is recommended.
