DSBN asks town to kick in
funding for theatre and library
The District School Board of Niagara has asked the
Town of Fort Erie to kick in $3.7 million to fund a
shared library and theatre for the town’s future high
school which is set to open in September 2017.
If Fort Erie council votes to finance either project,
it could impact property taxes.
A report brought to council on Jan. 12 outlined
ways for the Town to fund the project which includes
borrowing money, applying for grants, fundraising,
or raising property taxes.
If the Town of Fort Erie finances a library, that
could mean a 1% increase in the tax levy in 2015,
2016, and 2017 to raise $645,000 to pay for the proj-
Should the Town choose to fund a theatre, prop¬
erty taxes would need to be increased by 5% each
year for the next three years.
The DSBN doesn’t require the funds until the spring
of 2017, which allows “an opportunity to spread the
financial loading on the budget,” according to the
report issued by town staff.
Councif is expected to make a decision about wheth¬
er or not to support the projects after hearing com¬
ments from the public during an open house that was
held at town hall on Tuesday evening.
Fort Erie recognizes Crime
Stoppers of Niagara Week
The Town of Fort Erie will celebrate Crime Stoppers
of Niagara Week from Jan. 25to31.
A special flag raising ceremony will be held at Town
Hall Friday and the Crime Stoppers flag will be on
display all week.
Crime Stoppers is a non-profit organization that
provides citizens with the opportunity to anony¬
mously share knowledge of crime or potential crime
with police.

Stoppers and their information leads to an arrest.
For more information about Crime Stoppers visit
online at www.canadiancrimestoppers.org or report
a crime by calling 1-800-222-8477.
