Notice of Decision

CONCERNING A COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT PLAN PURSUANT TO
SECTION 28 OF THE PLANNING ACT

TAKE NOTICE that on April 15, 2024 the Council of the Township of Huron-Kinloss passed By-law 2024-039, being a By-law to Adopt a Community Improvement Plan, and and By-law 2024-38, being a By-law to Designate Community Improvement Plan Areas, for the Township of Huron-Kinloss.

The Community Improvement Plan (CIP) applies to all lands within the Township of Huron-Kinloss.

A copy of the By-laws and Schedules can be found at  https://www.huronkinloss.com/build-invest-and-grow/community-improvement-plan/.  The Township of Huron-Kinloss Council did not receive any written or oral submissions to consider before approving this By-law.

The purpose of the new CIP is to adopt a program that encourages the redevelopment, revitalization and improvement of private lands in the Township of Huron-Kinloss through a variety of financial incentives. The updated CIP will replace the previously developed CIP, it will apply to both settlement and rural areas of the Township, and will allow for increased access to funding opportunities through the Township's Downtown Improvement Program and Bruce County’s Spruce the Bruce Program.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION regarding the Community Improvement Plan is available for review Monday to Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. at the Municipal Office at 21 Queen St. Ripley, Ontario and on the municipal website at https://www.huronkinloss.com/build-invest-and-grow/community-improvement-plan/, or by emailing the Manager of Strategic Initiatives, Michelle Goetz at mgoetz@huronkinloss.com.
