The Collingwood – Blue Mountain Real Estate Blog

There were a few interesting tidbits in today’s local newspaper that seem worth sharing:

Collingwood issued over $3 million worth of new building permits in September bringing the year-to-date total to a rather stunning $81.18 million for the first nine months of the year compared to $35 million for the same period last year.  Seems growth continues despite global economic concerns.

Collingwood Council has announced a new Heritage Grant Program.  Owners of designated heritage properties can apply to receive a grant toward the conservation and restoration of the heritage features of their properties.  Grant amounts of one half of eligible costs up to $3,000 are available.  I’ll bet this would qualify.

The Town of Collingwood Sustainable Community Plan is now complete and is available for viewing at the Town Hall.   I sure hope they’ll put it up on the Town’s new and much improved website soon.

Oh yeah, and they are also inviting applications for the position of Deputy Fire chief in case you are job hunting.
