BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
Northcutt & Elliott Funeral Home, located at 53 Division Street,
Bowmanville, was designated as being of historical and
architectural value in April 1981. The owner of the property,
Mr. Cory Kuipers, has recently completed restoration work on the
exterior of the building and has submitted an application for a
Designated Property Grant in the amount of $3,000.00 .
The Ontario Heritage Act, 1974, states that owners of property
designated under the Act can apply to the municipality for grants
of 50 percent of the total cost of the work, to a maximum of
$3,000 .00 in any calendar year to offset the cost of restoration
work. Once the grant has been paid by the municipality,
application is made to the province for reimbursement of the
entire amount, plus 10 percent to cover administrative costs .
