Clarington covid grant for small stores

Clarington Council has approved a Covid-19 Community Improvement Plan (CIP) that will assist qualifying businesses with the costs of physical improvements required to safely reopen amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

Applications are now being accepted.

The Covid-19 CIP includes grant funding programs for various safety measures, including:

  • Plexiglass barriers to protect staff and customers
  • Signage to encourage spacing, and
  • Realignment of displays and work areas to allow for distancing

Qualifying businesses will have to meet specific eligibility criteria and meet a financial means test, said a council announcement.

Businesses that may qualify for the Covid-19 CIP include:

  • Retail stores, food services, art and entertainment services, personal care services, and registered medical practitioners such as massage therapists and chiropractors.

Businesses who do not qualify for funding under the Covid-19 CIP include:

  • Any business deemed essential that remained open during the pandemic, including grocery stores, drug stores, doctors’ offices, or national/international franchises and chain corporations

Visit Clarington’s Covid-19 Financial Support webpage to check out the Covid-19 CIP Information Sheet for a summary of the program requirements or read the Covid-19 CIP document for full eligibility and program details.

The Covid-19 CIP Application Form is available online.
