2023 Development Incentives Program
The City of Yellowknife is updating its Development Incentive Program By-law No. 4534 in order to facilitate development in the City and support Downtown revitalization. A Development Incentive By-law is a tool that the City uses to direct funds and implement policy towards existing or new development opportunities. They can be monetary in the form of tax assistance, grants or loans. Development Incentives can also be in-kind in the form of providing services, amenities or other supportive measures provided by the City to the public realm with an overall benefit to an area.
