Community Improvement Plan Grants and Application

Community Improvement Plan (CIP)

The goal of the Community Improvement Plan, is to stimulate and encourage growth and development within Johnson Township.  The CIP does this by offering limited assistance in a variety of areas. The CIP is an investment in our Township. Beautification, accessibility and growth will benefit everyone by raising the value of properties and businesses. Attracting new residents and businesses to the Township will generate more tax dollars.

The CIP plans can change as new ideas are identified, or a current CIP idea is removed when it no longer needs as much support.

The current CIP offers the following incentives and grants:

  1. Exterior Improvement Grant for businesses throughout the Township:
