Owners of heritage buildings in Delta may apply for support from the Heritage Conservation Grant Fund for repairs and restorations that would preserve and protect their heritage building. Grants are available for up to 50% of capital costs up to a maximum of $50,000. If funding provided is for accessibility upgrades to the property, the maximum annual assistance may be increased to 100% coverage of the capital costs up to a maximum of $150,000. Repair, restoration or preservation means physical works, which may include structural improvements, reinforcement, maintenance, fire protection, energy efficiency upgrades, accessibility improvements or security of the building.

To be considered for a heritage conservation grant, an owner must agree to place the building on Delta’s Heritage Register and agree to enter into a Section 219 Covenant to ensure maintenance of the building for a ten-year period.
