Community Improvement Plan (CIP) Grant and Loan programs

Through CIPs, municipalities can provide financial support to property owners for improvements that fit the critera of the plan. Municipalities can also acquire, rehabilitate, and dispose of land and improve infrastructure and public spaces. CIPs are proven to encourage change, improve community development, and foster economic growth. See the Community Improvement Plans available in Frontenac County.
