Let's Talk DCCs

The City of Cranbrook is looking at changes to its Development Cost Charges (DCC) Bylaw. Chamber members are invited to an informal session to learn more, ask questions, and share your thoughts.

This is all about open conversation and collaboration. The City and the Chamber share the same goals—supporting growth and development, attracting investment, and growing the tax base to help create jobs and fund important services in our community.

What we’ll talk about:

• Why investing in infrastructure matters as Cranbrook grows
• A high-level look at how costs and projects were identified
• What “growth pays for growth” really means—and how it affects the tax base
• The process to change DCCs – the proposal and timelines
• How members’ feedback will be reviewed and considered

This is a chance to share your informed perspective as part of Cranbrook’s voice of business.
