Heritage Conservation District

A Heritage Conservation District (HCD) is a designated area that holds historical, cultural, or architectural significance, protected under the Ontario Heritage Act. It helps preserve the district’s unique character by managing changes to buildings, landscapes, and streetscapes while allowing for appropriate development that respects the area's historical integrity and community identity.

The Amherstburg Historic Conservation District reflects the historic commercial and residential core of the original Town.  There are two components to a Heritage Conservation District: The "Study" and the "Plan."
