August 11, 2010. The City of Windsor is taking a giant step forward in fulfilling its vision of becoming a multi-modal transportation and logistics hub for national and international cargo.

The City today announced it will work with Carlin Enterprises, a Canadian-owned and operated transportation and logistics provider to finalize an agreement, which was approved in principle by City Council, to develop a state-of-the-art multi-modal cargo facility to be located at the Windsor International Airport. The cargo facility will serve rail, ocean container, and road operations and will be an important link for air cargo to and from the airport.

“This milestone for Windsor-Essex leverages this region's existing strengths and is the future model for developments and consolidation in the transportation and logistics sector”, says Airport President and CEO Federica Nazzani. Nazzani believes this project will be a catalyst for future economic growth and job creation in http://www.citywindsor.ca/000810.asp?id=4866 http://www.citywindsor.ca/000810.asp?id=4866 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 10:00:20 EST The City of Windsor 2010 final non-residential property tax bills have been mailed. If you have not received your tax bill by August 10th, please call 311.

Note: This year's final tax billing was split into two separate billings. The first billing covered all tax accounts that had a residential (RT) assessment only. This second billing will be for all non-residential assessment classes (e.g. commercial, industrial, multi-residential, farmland, pipeline) and will also include residential assessment properties that have a non-residential assessment component (e.g. a property with residential and commercial or a property with residential and farmland assessment). The split billing process served to accommodate those property tax bills that were affected by a joint effort on behalf of City Council and the Ontario Minister of Finance to provide for additional property tax reductions. Due dates are indicated below.

Failure to receive a tax bill does not exempt you from paying yo http://www.citywindsor.ca/000810.asp?id=4863 http://www.citywindsor.ca/000810.asp?id=4863 Tue, 03 Aug 2010 14:41:32 EST WINDSOR, ONTARIO and#8722; Canada's Transport and Infrastructure Minister, John Baird; Jeff Watson, Member of Parliament for Essex; the Honourable Sandra Pupatello, Ontario Minister of Economic Development and Trade and Member of Provincial Parliament for Windsor West; the Honourable Dwight Duncan, Ontario Minister of Finance and Member of Provincial Parliament for Windsor–Tecumseh; and His Worship Eddie Francis, Mayor of the City of Windsor, today marked the progress of 18 infrastructure projects currently underway in the City of Windsor.

“Today's investment is an example of the action our Government is taking to stimulate the Windsor economy and benefit the community for years to come,” said Minister Baird. “The successful partnerships we form with provinces and municipalities allow the Government of Canada to accomplish great things in municipal infrastructure while continuing to focus on economic recovery.”

However, tunnel and special event buses will continue to operate, as scheduled.

Residents will still be able to depend on buses to Detroit and to Comerica Park and Ford Field, but will no longer be able to reserve a ‘manifested seat'.

Special Event buses operate for all Tigers and Lions home games, plus select concert events, as follows:
• 75 and 45 minutes prior to the game or concert at Comerica Park.
• Bus leaves from Comerica up to a maximum of 30 minutes after the end of the game, concert or conclusion of Tigers' fireworks display.

It was 91 years ago, in 1919, that the new entity which was to become the industrial giant called General Motors took its first step along Windsor's roadway to becoming what we still are: Canada's Motor City.

GM's first Windsor presence was modest: a branch operation of the Fisher Body Company of Detroit. It was located on St. Luke Rd. in our Drouillard neighbourhood and employed only a modest number of workers.

But this was only the beginning. In succeeding years, General Motors of Canada established axle and engine plants, a vehicle assembly facility, a transmission plant, and in overall terms, spent billions of dollars and employed thousands of our working men and women.

Our GM plants were also front and centre in the manufacture and supp http://www.citywindsor.ca/000810.asp?id=4843 http://www.citywindsor.ca/000810.asp?id=4843 Mon, 26 Jul 2010 10:20:47 EST SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 12TH 2010 WFCU CENTRE – WINDSOR

Mayor Eddie Francis joined students and staff at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Elementary School this morning to hear Hasbro's live announcement, web-cast from Ottawa.

Windsor finished in 6th place, which means the most expensive yellow property on the board. This was a jump of two spots over 8th place, where Windsor sat on the leader board at the start of the blacked-out final week of voting in February.

After Windsor appeared on the screen, Mayor Francis expressed his thanks to staff and students in attendance at OLPH and the community as a whole. “I was starting to get nervous, but we moved up two spots! Congratulations,” said Mayor Francis. “Thank you for being part of this exciting opportunity. We're now on the board!”

Windsor competed with 64 other Canadian cities that were short-listed for the competition. Neighbouring Chatham-Kent won the top spot on the board, and Sarnia came in 4th http://www.citywindsor.ca/000810.asp?id=4683 http://www.citywindsor.ca/000810.asp?id=4683 Wed, 19 May 2010 16:41:34 EST CIRQUE DU SOLEIL CHOOSES WINDSOR AS FIRST CANADIAN TOUR DATE

In doing so, the rating agency noted a number of positive initiatives, which are now beginning to come to fruition. These initiatives include the pay as you go and debt reduction plan, as well as, the capital-reserves enhancement plan.

''It is encouraging to see that Standard and Poor's has recognized that the sound fiscal management policies and careful long-term financial planning undertaken by the City are serving us well during these difficult economic times. '' explained Mayor Eddie Francis.

The City of Windsor's debt has declined from approximately $230 million in 2002 to its current level of $182 million, additionally the City has begun to tackle the difficult challenge of unfunded post retirement liabilities. “This strong http://www.citywindsor.ca/000810.asp?id=4095 http://www.citywindsor.ca/000810.asp?id=4095 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 11:23:28 EST On Monday, June 22, 2009, 18 diesel-electric fully accessible hybrid buses were unveiled to the community by Transit Windsor Board of Directors' Chair and City of Windsor Ward 2 Councillor Caroline Postma, with Essex MP Jeff Watson, and Windsor West MPP Sandra Pupatello. The 18 diesel-electric hybrid buses are the first alternative fuel buses for the City of Windsor's transit system, highlighting its focus on reducing greenhouse gas (GHG), reducing particulate matter emissions and improving fuel economy.

The purchase of the new hybrid buses was made possible through partnership funding from all levels of government. The Federation of Canadian Municipalities' (FCM's) Green Municipal Fund is contributing $2.4 million through grants and loans, while the Government of Ontario is contributing over $7.2 million in funding to the City through the Ontario Bus Replacement Program (OBRP) and Gas Tax Program.
