WINDSOR, ONT. Residential property owners will have to pull more money out of their wallets come June. Homeowners will see a 2.4 per cent tax increase. More promising news for local businesses and industrial properties who will drop as much as 6.5 per cent thanks to pandemic relief from the province. I do agree with providing businesses with tax breaks because the last two years have been very, very difficult for anyone running a business and businesses in general,” says Councillor Fred Francis to AM800 news. “I would have loved to see more tax relief for homeowners and property owners, but that s something that the province would have to mitigate through their policies.”
WINDSOR, ONT. After a weekend flurry of calls and emails, Windsor council is backing a plan to deliver an express transit route from Windsor’s east end to St. Clair College. When considering “Route 18,” the city wasn’t sure if it was financially responsible to implement the new route, even though it was recommended in the transit master plan. That’s because pandemic-related costs are spiralling out of control, with COVID-19 debt estimated at $38 million in 2021 alone. Current bus ridership is also down to just 15 per cent of pre-pandemic levels. But college students living on the city’s east end have a major hurdle in their commute to and from main campus.
