Grant
Description:
The Brownfields Community Improvement Plan (BCIP) is a joint tax increment grant provided by the Region of Waterloo and the City of Waterloo. This program helps offset the costs of redeveloping brownfield properties — lands previously used for industrial, manufacturing or commercial purposes that may require environmental cleanup.
The BCIP was originally approved in 2013 and does not have a set end date. However, city or regional council may cancel the program at any time.
