About the funding
A property owner with an approved application under the Brownfields Rehabilitation Grant Program has the option of applying their approved grant amount to a 60% reduction in the development charges payable for that property (after any demolition charge credits are applied). The amount of the approved grant applied against the development charges payable will be deducted from the Brownfields Rehabilitation Grant to be paid.
Additionally, for projects that achieve land use compatibility goals supported by the City's Official Plan, the inclusion of Smart Growth principles and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification into the proposed development, the cost of remediation applied against the development charges payable will not be deducted from the Brownfields Rehabilitation Grant to be paid.
