Ontario Provides $84.4M in Infrastructure Funding to Tecumseh and Windsor

The federal and provincial governments are providing Windsor and Tecumseh with up to $84.4 million in infrastructure funding. This funding is contingent upon the reduction of development charges. Tecumseh committed to cutting its charges by 50 percent for three years, while Windsor committed to a 70 percent reduction. These reductions are expected to lower the cost of building a new home by tens of thousands of dollars in both municipalities.

The program, led by Rob Flack, is designed to tackle the rising cost of homeownership. By lowering development charges, the funding aims to reduce the cost of new construction in the region. Combined with previously announced HST relief, potential savings for homebuyers in Windsor and Tecumseh are estimated to reach over $179,000 and $148,000, respectively.
