Notice of Public Meeting - Update to the Elgincentives CIP
What is a CIP:
A Community Improvement Plan (CIP) is an economic development tool used by municipalities
in Ontario to guide strategic investment, development, and revitalization initiatives that support the physical improvement of a municipality or areas within a municipality. The Elgincentives CIP was adopted in 2015, and after more than a decade of supporting community improvement across Elgin County, the County has undertaken a review and update of the Plan.
Why is an Update Needed:
The purpose of this update is to ensure the program continues to reflect current provincial policy direction, emerging economic development trends, and evolving community priorities. This update builds upon the existing Elgincentives program by refining the structure of the document, updating incentive programs, and introducing new initiatives to better support community improvement across the County.
Proposed Amendments:
A digital copy of the proposed amendments to the CIP can be viewed here: https://engageelgin.ca/elgincentives. For physical copies, please visit your local Municipal Office during regular office hours.
