Downtown Tomorrow CIP Grant Program
The Downtown Tomorrow Community Improvement Plan (DTCIP) seeks to encourage growth in Downtown Orillia by providing grants designed to stimulate development.
Council approved $200,000 for the 2025 grant program to offset costs of development in the downtown core for DTCIP projects such as:
- Façade improvements
- Signage
- Feasibility studies
- Building improvements
- Creation of residential units
Over time, the DTCIP is expected to increase tax assessment, employment opportunities and housing options in the City's core as part of a longer term plan to revitalize the downtown and link it more closely to Orillia's waterfront.
A Community Improvement Plan (CIP) is a tool authorized by the Planning Act and Municipal Act that allows municipalities to offer financial incentives such as grants and loans to property owners and business tenants in order to encourage downtown, neighbourhood and community revitalization.
