A Ton of Heritage Structures in Mississauga Are Getting Facelifts
Published June 21, 2017 at 10:45 pm
Good news, history buffs and heritage nerds–a slew of historical Mississauga properties are getting some renovations thanks to the City of Mississauga’s 2017 Designated Heritage Property Grants Program.
With Canada’s 150th anniversary fast approaching–and with heritage structures and their importance being an eternally hot topic during this very transitional time in Mississauga’s life–it’s nice to see the city looking to preserve the past while keeping a sharp focus on the future.
Back in May, city council approved $55,831 in matching funding to Mississauga’s designated heritage property owners for the purposes of helping with the conservation and preservation of their properties through the aforementioned program.
Recently, the city announced 11 property owners–who own various heritage structures–were awarded funding grant eligible projects.
“Heritage is all around us in Mississauga,” said Paul Damaso, Director, Culture Division, City of Mississauga. “The heritage grants recognize Mississauga’s commitment to help conserve and protect properties that are vital to telling our most important heritage stories.”
So, which properties are in line for some renovations?
