City of Windsor | Brownfields Development Charge Exemption Program

While most of the potential brownfield properties in the Community Improvement Project Area are already serviced with adequate water, sewer services and roads, large scale redevelopment of brownfield sites may result in incremental increases in demand for both hard and soft services. With the recognition that the cost to provide these incremental services will be substantially lower than to provide new infrastructure and other services on greenfield sites, there is a financial rationale for a lower development charge for brownfield redevelopment.

Promotes brownfield redevelopment and Smart Growth on brownfield sites by providing a major economic catalyst in the form of an upfront reduction of the often large development charges that must be paid when a brownfield property is redeveloped.
