Core Areas Community Improvement Plan (CIP)

This initiative is intended to review and revise Thunder Bay's current Core Areas “Community Improvement Plan” (CIP) with the objective of bolstering current incentives and accelerating housing under the HAF. Following that, the initiative will expand Thunder Bay's current Strategic Core Areas CIP grants to further incentivize residential infill development in the areas within the CIP.

This initiative anticipates significant community renewal in the North Core, South Core and the Westfort Business Area. There are opportunities in these areas for both small-scale infill projects, and large-scale residential conversions of historic or other buildings. The grant program supports a mixture between redevelopments and new construction in these areas.
