District School Board of Niagara Education Development Charges Background Study 2025-2040
This document outlines the Education Development Charges (EDC) Background Study for the District School Board of Niagara (DSBN), focusing on its two regions: the former County of Lincoln and the former County of Welland. The study serves as a funding mechanism for growth-related accommodation needs by providing a framework for purchasing and developing land for new schools. Key areas include demographic projections, determination of school site needs, and the associated costs, culminating in proposed EDC rates for residential development in both regions.
