The Riverbend Seniors Community is one of over a dozen to have taken advantage of the City's Downtown Incentives Program

More than a dozen local businesses, including the Riverbend Seniors Community (pictured), have taken advantage of the City's Downtown Incentives Program

The City offers two incentives programs to encourage both housing downtown and housing in mature neighbourhoods with services and transit nearby.

Multi-Family Housing Incentives

The City of Prince George offers an incentive program for multi-family housing located in key growth areas, and incorporates adaptable housing standards into 50% of the units.

The program offers tax exemptions and reductions in development cost charges for market and non-market housing projects that include 3 attached units or more (single-family dwellings and duplexes are not eligible).

The goals of program are to:

Create a wider variety of housing options to serve all of our residents
Develop housing that is more accessible for seniors and people who use mobility devices
Create walkable neighbourhoods by developing multi-family housing in areas that are served by transit and close to amenities
Reduce barriers to non-profit housing providers developing affordable housing projects
