Really? It will pay-off the initial infrastructure costs before this infrastructure will need to be replaced and still contribute enough in property taxes to cover their operating costs?

Seeing as how my argument in support of the Peace Bridge wasn't based on it turning a profit I don't know. However, it will pay itself off before it needs to be refurbished. That being said, I do believe that the impact levies in the Core and river-side communities should have been at a level where the bridge would already be paid-off.
