Kingsville Town Council approved the 2022 Municipal Budget at its January 26, 2022 meeting. Council prioritized infrastructure and operational improvements. Some approved projects for 2022 include:

–  Reconstruction of Cedar Island Park Laneway and resurfacing of Cedar Island Subdivision

–  Replacing the Sumac Pedestrian Bridge

–  Resurfacing Road 11 from Graham Sideroad to Albuna

–  Engineering work for the West Side Collector Road

–  Phase three of the Lions Park Development Project, including installation of an accessible playground

–  Refurbishing the Kingsville range light

–  Consultation work for the Main Street Strategy

–  Baseball diamond improvements at Ridgeview Park

On its final day of budget deliberations, Council approved grants to support a number of community groups. The Town is appreciative of these community groups and the contribution they make to our overall quality of life in Kingsville.

As a result of this new budget, the municipal tax increase is $40.27 a year for a home assessed at $250,000. Assessments are based on MPAC’s 2016 assessment valuations, not current market value. According to MPAC’s 2016 assessment, the average home in Kingsville is $239,000.

“Council has given Administration a fiscally conservative budget that allows us to further Council’s Top 15 strategic priorities in 2022,” said Kingsville’s Chief Administrative Officer, John Norton.

The full budget will be available on the Town’s website at www.kingsville.ca/budget.
