The project was pilot tested in the City of Windsor. • The project streamlines the redevelopment of former industrial sites for residential purposes. • The range of affordable housing stock will be increased, and an alternative provided to living in the suburbs. • The quality of the community will be improved because the new uses will encourage redevelopment of neighbouring properties, reverse urban decline and create greater security. • It also results in more efficient use of existing infrastructure and increases the municipal tax base.

ACT Grant announcement sheet. http://www.actprogram.com/english/projects/c6.asp. - Case study: Hamilton, ON The City of Hamilton developed and is implementing an outstanding brownfields redevelopment strategy to promote the clean up and development of contaminated sites in the city’s industrial areas. The program is known as Environmental Remediation and Site Enhancement (ERASE) Community Development Plan. It provides grants for feasibility studies and financial incentives in the form of tax and other fee rebates. The project won a 2001 Canadian Urban Institute Brownie Award. Draft 4/11/2005 37
