This newsletter will provide valuable insights, updates, and resources to help you stay informed and connected. We invite you to subscribe to The Slice newsletter to ensure you receive the latest information directly to your inbox. 

Launch of new Economic Development and Tourism Website 

A new Economic Development and Tourism website will serve as a comprehensive resource for all things related to economic development and tourism. It will feature tools, information, and support to help businesses thrive in our community. The website will be launched July 2025. 

Updated Community Improvement Plan 

In 2025, the City of Clarence-Rockland approved a newly updated Community Improvement Plan (CIP) that extends the CIP area to encompass all communities of Clarence-Rockland and lays out opportunities for the municipality to provide incentive-based programs as an economic development tool. The first intake period will open in September 2025.  More detailed information on the Community Improvement Plan funding streams will be available on the city’s Economic Development and Tourism website.
