The application must include a detailed study work plan, outlining anticipated timing/delivery; a quotation of a qualified person to carry out the works; and for environmental studies, a copy of the Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment. The applicant should also note any known plans for redevelopment, noting and planning applications that have been submitted or approved for redevelopment of the land. The application will be reviewed by the Municipality and Staff Committee, as appropriate. A recommendation to Council as to how much of the proposed work, if any, is eligible for funding under the Study and Business Grant will be made by Municipal staff. Prior to issuing their recommendation, staffmay request further cost estimates or other information. Approval of the Study and Design Grant and Startup Grant is made by Council. If the number of qualifying applications exceeds the available grant funding in any given year/intake, the Municipality may provide a lesser grant over all applications; may recommend consideration of an alternative program for which additional funding is available, or recommend deferral until the following year, based upon consultation with the applicant. If all eligibility criteria and conditions are met and funds are available, Council will approve the grant. A letter from the municipality to the applicant will represent a grant commitment and will be valid for a period of eight (8) months. The municipality may grant discretionary extensions when justified, however, undue delay beyond the eight (8) month timeframe may result in the grant allocation being revoked.
