Poised to fill an “identified gap in their wireless service coverage,” a Rogers Communications Inc. antenna system is proposed for construction at 775 Lasalle Boulevard.
The committee will vote on whether to issue a “position of concurrence” sent to Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada, which would effectively approve it. “Radiofrequency engineers for the proponent have also specifically identified the intersection of Lasalle Boulevard and Montrose Avenue as being a focal point for providing improved wireless services to businesses, institutions and residences in the immediate vicinity of this intersection.”
If ultimately built, the 75 single-family houses are estimated to bring in approximately $386,000 in tax revenue based on an assessed value of $400,000 per unit at 2022 property tax rates. The 75 units would also bring in approximately $1.7 million in development charges.
