It combines the new development of mixed commercial, retail and residential development with the imaginative reuse of heritage buildings—notably a defunct paper mill and vacant hospital structure. The City has created a community improvement plan that provides heritage grants and tax incentives. Source: contact http://www.thorold.com/ - Case study: Halifax, NS The Creighton-Gerrish Development Association developed a mixed-use project to revitalize a somewhat depressed area of Halifax. To date, an 18-unit rent-geared to income building with space for a community group to deliver its homeless outreach initiative has been built. Six affordable market rate townhouses will be built. A 12-unit building will be rehabilitated for affordable rental units. Thirty-five two- and three- bedroom row houses will be built. • The revitalization project reduced urban decline, improved the tax base and led to economic development. • The project served as an important first renewal; it has led to revitalization of surrounding areas in that developers have brought forward plans to develop a neighbouring parcel of land. • Owner-led renovation has increased in the neighbourhood. The development was a finalist for the 2002 Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation's Housing Awards Program. Source: An ACT case study to be issued by CMHC.

The site was redeveloped to create over 2500 housing units; 40 per cent are for low- and moderate-income households. The Canadian Pacific Railway aided in the clean up. • The housing and occupants were integrated into the surrounding neighbourhood, thereby using the existing infrastructure, schools and other community facilities.
