Lily Thai Cuisine Receives Community Improvement Grant to Enhance Building

HALTON HILLS, ON – On November 3, Lily Thai Cuisine, a beloved culinary gem in Georgetown, was a successful recipient of the Façade Improvement Grant, within the Town’s Community Improvement Plan, to undertake a transformative enhancement of their building façade. The grant, totaling $15,961.25, was allocated towards a series of upgrades aimed at revitalizing the exterior of the building and protecting its heritage assets.

“The process was very smooth, and I enjoyed how everyone was very responsive and professional when asking for help and guidance through this all,” said Lily Thai Cuisine owner Helen Lu when asked about the application process with the Town of Halton Hills. “We really appreciate being a part of the community and having support from the Town to help maintain our property.”

Regional and local Councillor Jane Fogal along with Ward 3 Councillors Chantal Garneau and Ron Norris, joined staff from the Town’s Economic Department & Innovation Division, to present the $15,961.25 cheque to Lily Thai Cuisine.
