South Canon Annexation Talks Begin Amid Tax Disparities
At a city council session a South Canon village board committee urged a conference on consolidation with Canon City. A joint meeting in September discussed the plan but produced no decision. Projections show South Canon’s $200,000 assessed value versus Canon City’s $1.3 million, with unequal ward representation and tax differences. South Canon lacks waterworks sidewalks and police protection, while consolidation could benefit them, though opposition exists on both sides and no year-end action is anticipated.
