The Urban Growth Centre Community Improvement Plan offers five (5) financial incentive programs to encourage development and redevelopment in the Downtown Oshawa Urban Growth Centre:

  1. Conversion to Residential Grant
  2. Economic Stimulus Grant
  3. Façade and Accessibility Improvement Grant
  4. Increased Assessment Grant
  5. Upgrade to Building and Fire Codes Grant

Applications for Increased Assessment Grants are accepted year-round and require Council approval. Applications for all other grant programs are accepted twice annually. The first application deadline is March first of every calendar year, and the second application deadline is September first of every calendar year.

Prior to the completion of the application form, applicants are strongly encouraged to review the Urban Growth Centre Community Improvement Plan and consult with staff from Business and Economic Development Services. Early consultation can result in the identification of matters that will significantly assist in the processing of the application.
