Barrie wants property owners to apply for funding for heritage conservation projects.

Barrie’s Conservation of Built Heritage Grant Program was set up to help property owners restore and renovate their heritage buildings.

The grant will cover up to 60 per cent of costs to a maximum of $10,000 for necessary upgrades, energy efficiency improvements, and other conservation work on heritage listed or designated properties.

The grant program is offered through the city’s Conservation of Built Heritage Community Improvement Plan.

This plan is designed to support property owners in conserving listed and designated heritage properties, ensuring Barrie’s unique character endures for generations to come.
