How BBN Labs helps
- BBN coordinates your interior renovation, bringing in the right trades for flooring and layout so you deal with one team instead of five contractors.
- BBN manages your tenant improvements with qualified partners, keeping the whole build on one timeline and budget for a modern look that attracts customers.
- BBN guides you through the application and deadlines so you don't lose the funding.
What to know before you count on it
- Cost-share: you pay for the work first, then the city reimburses its share (about half) after it's done and inspected.
- Apply and get approved BEFORE you start any work or buy anything — starting early disqualifies most of these.
- Downtown Windsor CIP area (retail). Confirm your address qualifies before you spend.
- Municipal funding is limited each year — confirm money is still available.
What are your odds?
Area-gated and funding-limited, but a straightforward fit if your Windsor address qualifies and you apply before starting.
What you can combine it with
May combine with provincial/federal programs for the same project — we'll check what stacks.
