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.
