Developer pleased with town’s tone sherry.haaima@metroland.com

One local developer is cautiously optimistic that Renfrew has turned a corner in terms of development. “We as developers feel that Renfrew is on the cutting edge of coming alive,” said Mack Wilson of Wilson Investments. “As far as co-operation and administration is concerned we’re very optimistic we have turned a corner,” said Wilson. Further co-operation and attention to the issue will do nothing but benefit the town,
he added. “We hope that people will be pleased with what’s happening,” said Wilson. Wilson Investments’ major project right now is the Hunter Gate subdivision behind No Frills. The 300-lot subdivision is half built and includes beautiful parks and recreation areas, said Wilson. “They’ve got to continue to be really agreeable with developers and how they’re going to be handled,” said Wilson. “Every house that goes up increases the tax base,” he added.

Horton Township ratepayers will see a moderate increase in their taxes. The township levy increase of 4.92 per cent for a residential, single family home makes for a tax increase of $43.53 or 1.94 per cent.
A sample of the tax impacts included in the budget package presented at a June 1 public meeting and passed at the Tuesday, June 2 regular council meeting, indicates 1,255 properties will see an average increase of $80 and 376 properties will decrease an average of $20. Township treasurer Jennifer Barr delivered the
budget and was available for questions. Mayor Bob Kingsbury was the only member of council to vote against the increase. In his address, the mayor said he supports a 4 per cent increase, but not the 4.79. See MAYOR Page 4
