  WHEREAS it was determined at the Council Meeting of December 14, 2022 that the CIP Program, including the Integrated Orléans CIP, would continue to receive applications while the Brownfield CIP Program would be paused pending Council’s consideration of the 2023 CIP Program Review;

  WHEREAS Trim Works Developments Limited applied for a CIP grant on March 6, 2023, in respect of 1280 Trim Road, and in accordance with the eligibility criteria as identified in the Integrated Orléans CIP;

  WHEREAS over the 10-year proposed grant period, the estimated cumulative increase in the municipal portion of property taxes attributable to the project at 1280 Trim Road is approximately $1,676,983 and the CIP grant would be based on 75 per cent of this increase and is estimated at approximately $167,698 annually (10-year average) or $1,257,737 cumulatively over the 10-year grant period; 

  WHEREAS a staff report recommending Committee and Council approval of this application will not be considered by Finance and Corporate Services Committee and Council before consideration of the CIP Program Review (5-year review) staff report currently planned for June 2023;
