NAIOP and 7 other business organizations have banded together to express our concern that commercial property taxes requisitioned by the City of Edmonton, and paid by businesses, have more than doubled in the last ten years. This has affected Edmonton’s competitiveness, small businesses confidence, attractiveness in national site selection, and overall employment.
As the City develops the upcoming four-year budget plan, the business community is eager to work with Council and administration to achieve a winning strategy for delivering quality core services, while holding the line on both taxes and spending, in order to keep this City a great place to live and work.
