Community Improvement Plan Boosts Georgetown Storefront

HALTON HILLS, ON – The Town of Halton Hills is proud to announce the successful completion of a façade improvement project in downtown Georgetown, supported through the Community Improvement Plan (CIP). On October 15, Councillors Norris, and Garneau, together with the Town’s Economic Development staff, presented Accountants on Main with a grant cheque for $12,045.74 to support the revitalization of their property.

Accountants on Main, at 52 Main Street South, completed a series of upgrades, including mural wall and masonry repairs, office entryway flooring replacement, and front window panel restoration through the Façade Improvement Program. These enhancements have contributed to a more vibrant and welcoming storefront while preserving heritage features of the building.

“The improvements at Accountants on Main showcase how our Community Improvement Plan directly supports local businesses in creating attractive, welcoming storefronts.” said Mayor Ann Lawlor.  “In particular, I’m pleased that the heritage aspects of the building are being maintained and that the striking mural has remained as a vibrant piece in our downtown.”

Accountants on Main is a Chartered Professional Accountants firm in Halton Hills offering comprehensive accounting, taxation, and business advisory services. For over twenty years, they have served Georgetown and the surrounding area, combining large-firm expertise with a personalized, small-town approach.

The Community Improvement Plan offers grants and loans to eligible businesses and organizations, encouraging revitalization, attracting private sector investment, supporting the redevelopment of underutilized properties, and bolstering local job opportunities.

For every $1 invested by the Town through the CIP, up to $6 in private sector investment can be leveraged—amplifying the impact of municipal funding. To access funding, applicants work in partnership with the Town through a straightforward application and agreement process to ensure every project aligns with the community’s vision for growth and revitalization. This strategic, seed funding approach supports Council’s priorities by fostering economic growth, enhancing the local tax base, and advancing key community goals such as main street revitalization, heritage protection, and brownfield redevelopment.
