“ The development, redevelopment, adaptive reuse or rehabilitation of the building and/or property must result in an annual grant (or tax increment) of at least $500 for properties that are taxed at the “residential” tax rate, or $1,000 for all other tax categor ies.”

This recommended change in the Program Detail is also more inline with what is expected in other areas of the City and what has been approved for the Downtown Windsor Enhancement Strategy and CIP . For illustrative purposes, the table below identifies the difference in changing the minimum annual grant amounts (over a 10 year period) for properties taxed at the “residential” tax rate, and for all other tax categories (i.e. commercial and industrial).
