The Township of Wellesley is working on an update to its Community Improvement Plan (CIP). The CIP is a planning tool that will allow the municipality to designate areas for improvement and offer various incentives (i.e., grants and loans) to stimulate growth and revitalization in our community.

What is a Community Improvement Plan (CIP)?

A Community Improvement Plan (CIP) is a municipal planning tool enabled by the Ontario Planning Act that sets out programs and strategies for improving the built, economic, and social environment in designated areas of a municipality. Many municipalities across Ontario have prepared CIPs, including the Township of Wellesley, to achieve important community goals, such as:

• Facilitating and coordinating the transition of neighbourhoods and areas;
• Stimulating economic growth and development;
• Assisting property owners with repair, rehabilitation, and redevelopment projects; and
• Raising awareness of local needs and priorities.

This project is funded in part by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness. We appreciate the support!
