City of Quinte West Community Improvement Plan (CIP)
The City’s Economic Development Division implemented a Community Improvement Plan (CIP) in 2005.
Since the CIP was implemented, the needs of the community have evolved in the downtown commercial
core, and an updated CIP is required to better support these needs. In addition, the City has
identified the need for CIP programs geared to support the tourism sector in Quinte West.
Sierra Planning & Management has been retained by the City of Quinte West to prepare a new
Downtown and Tourism Community Improvement Plan (CIP) to facilitate and encourage economic
growth, sustainable development, and enhancement of underutilized areas. Through collaboration, the
CIP will provide evidence-based guidance on the most effective ways to stimulate economic
development across a variety of sectors.
Keep checking this webpage to follow the progress of the project and to see how you can contribute to
the development of the CIP by providing your feedback.
What is a Community Improvement Plan (CIP)?
A Community Improvement Plan (CIP) is a tool available to municipalities under Section 28 of the
Planning Act. CIPs are vehicles for facilitating revitalization and redevelopment efforts in a defined
area(s). To carry out CIPs, municipalities can establish grants, loans, and other programs to encourage
private sector investment in development and renovation projects that seek to improve areas in
accordance with local goals and priorities.
How can a CIP help business and property owners?
Private commercial property owners and businesses can take advantage of the financial incentive
programs contained in CIPs to achieve a range of community improvement goals such as improving
property façades and redeveloping property.
