Notice of Open House: County Large Scale Industrial Grant Matching Program

The County of Essex will be hosting an Open House in the Shaheen Room of the Town of Essex Arena on Monday, Oct. 20 about the Large Scale Industrial Grant Matching Program.

PURPOSE OF THE OPEN HOUSE

The County of Essex has developed a guideline intended to enable the County to provide matching grants to those of Local Industrial Community Improvement Programs with the aim at supporting large scale industrial development to Essex County.  Industry plays a major role in driving the economy of Essex County and industrial land uses are a key contributor to the future of economic development, workforce retention, economic sustainability and prosperity throughout the County. The Large Scale Industrial Grant Matching Program (“LSI-GMP”) is the upper-tier framework intended to provide additional financial incentives to assist with regional and local economic development initiatives targeted at attracting new large scale industrial developments in Essex County. The County encourages and supports the seven local municipalities in preparing Industrial Focussed Community Improvement Plans.

Further details can be found on the Large Scale Industrial Matching Program page!
