Goderich, Colborne set plan
Colbomc Twp. and the Town of
Goderich have moved a step
towards amalgamation when they
recently came to a consensus on a
plan.
The proposal does not include the
annexation of Goderich Twp. lands

aries south to Bluewater Beach and
along the north side of Hwy. 8, as
far at Cone. 4, bounded by the
river.

hike for township residents and a
drop for town inhabitants.
Rural landowners would sec their
taxes jump by $181.70 per year on
a $100,000 assessment while
urbanites would realize a savings of
$124.19.

will not have streetlights or side
walks was considered.
A savings of $140,000 is expect
ed immediately.

sense of the amalgamation, Col
borne Reeve Slewart Slccnslra said
residents may have to be con
vinced.

saying that although the numbers
look lillctl against Colbomc, taxes
would have to increase with or
without amalgamation.
