Trail will not be using a parcel tax to pay for it’s portion of the pipe/pedestrian bridge over the Columbia River.

CAO David Perehudoff says it will be based on property assessments to help fund their portion of the $7.2 million pipe crossing piece.

The exact tax implication has not yet been spelled out by Trail. A public consultation meeting will be held at city hall at 4 pm on Thursday.
