This is the future head office and distribution centre for Worldwide Furniture located on Woodbine Ave south of Stouffville Rd.
The building 113,000 sq feet in total and represents permit fees of approximately $132,000, park levies $227,000, development charges just over $2,000,000 and an annual tax base increase of approximately $225,000 per year.
Pillar 2 of our Strategic Plan is:
Expanding the tax base through a growing, diversified economy: Building and maintaining a tax base that supports the highest quality program and service delivery.
Focus on servicing and development of Provincially Significant Employment Zones
Update the Economic Development strategy and continue to attract businesses to locate in WS
Identify expansion areas for Industrial / Commercial growth
This is the latest example of how Council is laser focused on increasing our ICI and taking all necessary steps to balancing our tax base.
Exciting days ahead!
