Council Commits $100K More to City’s Safety Improvement Grant 
City Council is committing another $100,000 to support the City’s Safety Improvement Grant, part of the Downtown Community Improvement Plan (CIP). The Safety Improvement Grant helps commercial, industrial, and institutional businesses in Timmins cover the purchase of security measures for the business property.

To date, the City has received 21 CIP grant applications to support building improvements, façade updates, and safety upgrades, exceeding the approved 2025 budget for CIP funding. While the City’s CIP reserves can cover the additional cost, Council is adding $100,000 to the Safety Improvement Grant so that businesses can continue to apply.

The Safety Improvement Grant, which provides a one-time grant opportunity for up to 75% of costs, to a maximum of $7,500, to cover the purchase of security upgrades, is the only CIP stream that has been expanded outside the pre-designated CIP downtown areas. The eligible area was amended by City Council in 2024.

Interested applicants can fill out the Downtown CIP application form, select Safety Improvement Grant, and submit directly to the City’s Community Development Planner by email or in-person at City Hall. It’s important to note that applications are only considered approved once due diligence checks have been completed and a funding agreement with the City is in place. No project should proceed before the funding agreement is confirmed.
