Boundary expansion debate shifts tax impact in Chetwynd
Industry voices caution that raising municipal taxes must apply to residential taxes too. Canfor favours expansion if new tax rates mirror rural levels, arguing current rate is high. Canfor’s mill would join the municipal boundary, with other large sites currently outside. Local firms note their strong economic contributions, including Louisiana Pacific's 1995 $27 million in salaries and local purchases. Area E and the District of Chetwynd pause further comment until a public meeting early this week.
