Norfolk County has officially adopted an updated Community Improvement Plan covering the entire municipality.
County Council passed By-law 2026-76 on July 28th, repealing the previous bylaw and adopting an updated version of the plan along with a new evaluation matrix. The Community Improvement Plan is intended to support the upgrading, rehabilitation, redevelopment and improvement of lands and buildings throughout Norfolk County.
The updated plan includes clarified eligibility criteria for the Brownfield Tax Increment Grant, as well as changes to administrative language intended to reflect current practices. Norfolk County says the existing financial incentives and Community Improvement Project Area remain unchanged.
The County says the public was consulted throughout the process, with comments helping shape updates to administrative processes, incentives and eligibility criteria.
The decision will become final if no appeal is filed, with the deadline to appeal set for 4:30 p.m. on August 27th.
