WHY ARE THE CITY OF WINDSOR CIP FINANCIAL INCENTIVES CRITICAL TO KADRI LAW’S PROPOSED NEW INVESTMENT AT 1567 OUELLETTE AVE.
Our practice is currently located at 110 Tecumseh Road East where we lease a 1 , 200 square feet office . This proposed development is a significant expansion for us, but one that we can accomplish if able to access the se financial incentives offered through the CIP.
Through the City of Windsor’s CIP, the financial incentives offered to encourage new investment in targeted economic sectors are exactly what we would need to undertake this business e xpansion. We believe our proposed expansion and investment would not only enable us to create 5-10 jobs directly through the expansion of Kadri Law , but indirectly the businesses we are able to attract to the city of Windsor will also help diversify the local economy and create even further jobs for our local residents. Our ability to attract these entrepreneurs and investors to our city would be greatly enhanced by this proposed new investment in a facility that will be home to Kadri Law’s Startup Central . Our firm will offer a full range of business incubator services and entrepreneurship training, including workshops & mentorship programs.
