Incentives and Programs

Providing a range of generous financial incentives to developers, investors and business owners.

Niagara wants your business. In addition to participating in numerous provincial and federal funding programs, Niagara Region works closely with its municipal government partners to provide a range of generous financial incentives to developers, investors and business owners.

Many of these programs are linked with existing property inventories to assist in site selection decisions and program applications. From reduced property taxes and development charges to duty and tariff exemptions on imported goods, we’re committed to helping Niagara businesses build a better bottom line.
