Lethbridge city council has rejected a motion which would have created a separate sub class of taxation to provide local developers and builders with a 50 per cent tax break on vacant serviced lots.
Coun. Jeffrey Coffman introduced the motion for discussion during council on Tuesday following a public presentation by BILD Lethbridge and District executive officer, Bridget Mearns, at the Economic Standing Policy Committee on Feb. 24.
At the time, Mearns had suggested the change as a COVID relief measure for the local home construction industry.
