10 THE NEW TANNER THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 2005 New funding for herita Residents of Halton Hills who own designated heritage properties were sent infor- mation about a new funding program to help with repairs and restorations on their heri- tage properties during the last week of February. Heritage Halton Hills announced a new funding program for Heritage Property owners created by The Halton Hills Heritage Foundation. Any work which will restore or protect the heritage features of a property qualifies for a grant to cover 50% of the costs. Designated Property Grants "are funded by the Heritage Foundation of Halton Hills and are provided for Desig- nated Properties (Part IV and V Designations under the Ontario Heritage Act) within Halton Hills. Grant funds will be made available to Heritage Halton Hills and will be ap- proved on an annual basis by the Heritage Foundation of Halton Hills (providing funds are available) as a matching grant to amaximum of $3,000 per application. Designated property owners requesting grant assistance for specific heritage construction projects are requested to com- plete an application and submit it to Heritage Halton Hills for review. Grants funded by the Heritage Foundation of Halton Hills are based on application information submitted and approved by Heritage Halton Hills. Work conducted with the assistance of grant funding is monitored by Heritage Halton Hills. Grant funds provided are paid by Heritage Halton Hills to the designated property Greenbelt Plan Savoline concerned Halton Regional Chairman Joyce Savoline has expressed concern that sufficient public consultation has not happened following the passing of the Provincial Greenbelt Act on February 24 and the Greenbelt Plan on February 28. "One of our most important roles as a government is to facilitate opportunities for public comment on issues important to our community. This is in keeping with our practice at Hal- ton, to be open and consultative. It is challenging however, to ensure our residents have the opportunity to make meaningful comments when the landscape around us is changing." Savoline referred to the fact that over 30 delegates ap- peared before Halton's Planning and Public Works (PPW) Committee recently to share their views on the possible in- clusion of 4000+ acres in the Provincial Greenbelt Plan. The resolution from this meeting, that was to have gone before Regional Council on March 2, was rendered moot with the Province's passing of the Greenbelt Act and Plan. Another Provincial planning initiative, the "Places To Grow" document - a blueprint for how and where municipali- ties will grow, is currently under review. Halton hosted its second public consultation on the Plan yesterday (March 9). ge property owner on the basis of receipts for the actual project costs and a review of the completed work, Heritage Halton Hills is now accepting applications for work to commence in 2005.
