A big municipal tax increase for Rossland but the mayor says it was expected.
Greg Granstrom says council is set to approve a 7% increase.
That amounts to a little over a $100 extra for the average homeowner.
But the increase is exclusively because of the multi million dollar downtown upgrades last year and is well within projections.
The Columbia avenue/Washington street upgrades cost around $6.5 million.
Granstrom suggests residents need to judge this 7% increase against the lack of any tax increases since 2009…which he says is remarkable.
