No movement on K-Mart property in Dundas
Most of the commercial property along Hwy 3 in Dundas is part of TIF district 2 which allowed for the infrastructure of the K-Mart store. Things like water, sewer and road improvements. City Administrator John McCarthy said the facility never got any money from it. He added, “the type of construction that occurred in K-Mart would not be permitted under TIF anymore. What would be permitted in the K-Mart store very likely is that TIF could be used to do what’s called a rehabilitation”. That may mean tearing down the store. McCarthy said those TIF dollars cannot be used for retail any more unless it’s an economic development district. He said, as far as he knows, there’s been no movement on that area.
