Downtown Kemptville Community Improvement Plan

The Downtown Kemptville Community Improvement Plan (CIP) offers a suite of financial incentive programs to stimulate the revitalization of private properties in the downtown core.

The refreshed Downtown Kemptville CIP is one part of the Downtown Kemptville Community Action Plan created by the Municipality in 2021 to support the revitalization and future growth of Kemptville's downtown area.

In 2024, the CIP introduced updates expanding the Façade and Signage Grant to include funding for accessibility upgrades on all entrances, including side and rear entrances that do not face the main street. This expansion supports a broader range of accessibility improvements across properties in the CIP area.

Review the Downtown Kemptville CIP Guidelines.

For 2025, the budgets for the programs are as follows:

  • People Make the Place Grant - $50,000
  • Façade & Signage Grant - $50,000
  • Building Fees Grant - $12,500
