Availability
Available to commercial, industrial, or mixed-use properties within the Central Business District, District Shopping Area (“The Flats”), Business Areas, and Industrial Areas.
Purpose
The purpose of this program is to promote retrofits that improve the overall energy efficiency of buildings. The Town may benefit from reduced energy use and a more sustainable local business environment.
Funding Opportunity
The Town provides up to 50% of the cost of approved energy efficiency retrofit projects to a maximum of $10,000. The maximum municipal contribution would be a $5,000 interest-free loan and $5,000 grant.

Applicants are required to submit documentation to verify that the original equipment will be replaced by higher efficiency equipment, and/or specifications related to energy efficiency of new materials that are being installed. Applications will be subject to review and verification by the Chief Building Official or designate. The Town of Bracebridge reserves the right to reject any proposed retrofit activity that will not result in substantial energy savings.
Eligible energy efficiency improvements will include (but not be limited to) the following, as determined by the Town:
- Improvement to a building envelope (such as insulation upgrades, weatherization, and window and door replacement); and
- Installation of energy efficient lighting systems
