As the city filed it

In May of 2021, City Council approved the creation of a food incubator tenancy program at 5200 Yonge Street to assist start-up food entrepreneurs, with a focus on providing opportunities for members of communities which have traditionally been disadvantaged.

Although they are now able to access the space, the fit-up period is expected to be complete by June 2022. As such no rent is to be collected and the rental abatement period should be extended an additional six months until June 30, 2022. The Motion is urgent because we are committed to helping the new entrepreneurs as they require this immediate assistance in order to successfully launch their businesses.
