\u0022People just don\u0027t buy their city tax dollars being used to prop up certain corporate business interests.\u0022
“It’s a dilemma,” said River ward Coun. Riley Brockington, who reported that he’d already heard from 10 or so residents, all united in their opposition to the tax offset that city staff are recommending giving Germain Hotels.
Council was assured at that time that it would be up to them to approve individual applications for tax relief. Now, that first ask is here — heading to finance and corporate services committee next week, and from there to council. The hotel itself, with its planned restaurant and meeting rooms, would produce 50 full-time jobs when it opens, according to city staff.
To Brockington, it could be worth getting more specific about the projects that qualify for tax relief through the CIP program. And certainly, if council rejects this one, he says that becomes a necessity. “The city needs to stop spending resident funds in this way,” he wrote in a message to this newspaper Monday, pointing to another controversial CIP development in recent years: a new Porsche dealership on Vanier’s Montreal Road.
