Accessibility of this website


The Department of Planning and Community Development strives to create online resources that are accessible to all. This website has been designed to meet Level AA of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 of the W3C (World-Wide Web Consortium).

Currently our site meets all W3C Level AA (Priority 1 and Priority 2) requirements with exclusion of the “Text-size changer” when using the MyGrants pages.
We are working to address this problem and it should be fixed shortly. In the mean time you can change the text size under the "View" tab of your internet browser.

If you have accessibility issues or feedback, please feel free to contact us.
