It is important to note that the annual grant is paid to the registered Owner of the property (unless directed in writing otherwise) based on the Supplementary Notice received from the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation and subject to the Grant Program General Provisions. This incentive program is meant to stimulate investment by the private sector, which might not otherwise take place, by providing an eligible property Owner with a grant equivalent to a portion of the resultant municipal property tax increases. It is anticipated that the nature of the redevelopment will be in the form of conversion and / or intensification of a brownfield site, which result in increased taxes. In order to minimize the cost and financial risk to the City, the BTIGP will be structured as a pay-as-you-go grant. The Owner will be responsible for the entire cost of the redevelopment project and, the City may reimburse the property Owner for the eligible cost of improvements in the form of an annual grant. Each year, the property Owner must first pay all property taxes. The City may then provide a grant equivalent to the approved portion of the increase in municipal taxes resulting from the property improvements. The total amount of an approved grant provided under this program shall not exceed the cost of redevelopment of the brownfield site under eligible program costs, as noted in Grant Program General Provisions. It is important to note that the City may request Regional Municipality of Niagara participation in this Program. The Owner is required to pay the full allocation of the education portion of the taxes from the commencement of this Program. Duration The BTIGP will commence upon execution of the Brownfield Tax Increment Based Incentive Grant Program Agreement (BTIGP Agreement) and the request by the applicant to commence payment. Grant applications will not be accepted after the termination of the St. Catharines Community Improvement Plan (as Approved by Council). Participants in the program will continue to receive the approved grants as determined through the BTIGP Agreement with the City. All grants will cease upon the earliest of the following: when total grant payments provided under this program equal the total value of the redevelopment work done under the eligible program costs (see Grant Program General Provisions) that resulted in the increased assessed value; or ten (10) years after written notification has been received from the Owner requesting the commencement of payments as provided for in the BTIGP Agreement.

Calculation The BTIGP may provide a maximum grant which is the equivalent of 80% of the increase in the municipal portion of property taxes to a maximum of the redevelopment costs or eligible costs. The amount of municipal taxes ( base rate ) will be determined at the time the Brownfield Tax Increment Based Incentive Grant Program Application is submitted. The increase in the municipal portion of the property taxes (or municipal tax increment ) will be calculated as the difference between the base rate and the amount of municipal property taxes levied as a result of the re-evaluation by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) following project completion or at Year One, whichever is the earlier date. It is important to note that the base rate will be the amount of municipal taxes assessed against the property at the commencement of the BTIGP. The property Owner will be responsible for the entire costs of the redevelopment of the project. When the project is complete, a grant of a portion of the City and Regional taxes will be paid annually following the payment of all taxes by the Owner. Eligible program costs contemplated above include the costs of: removal of debris including all site infrastructure and general improvements for structural safety purposes to meet the minimum requirements of the Ontario Building Code, removal of waste materials (100%), site preparation including construction / improvement of on-site public works (e.g. water services, private sanitary and storm drains and / or private sewers, watermains, roads, curbs and gutters, catchbasins, hydro, gas and communication services), expenses related to the relocation of sanitary sewers, storm sewers and watermains within the same property boundaries, demolition of all buildings and structures together with removal and disposal of all materials and debris, capital expenditures for existing building renovation and / or new building construction, includes accessibility costs, any streetscaping, landscaping, enhancement and any aesthetic beautification as may be required beyond the City s normal requirement, all legal fees, consulting fees and financing costs, preparation of a business plan, preparation of professionally prepared drawings, expenses related to designated Heritage Buildings and / or properties as they relate only to specific eligible costs identified above, sound barriers, gas migration trenches; and Municipal Property Assessment Corporation Assessment Estimate.
