What are the benefits of a wholly owned Development Corporation?

Maximal Benefit to the City and the Community

  • When a municipality sells land, the proceeds go to a land reserve to buy more land or items of a capital nature (Community Charter Section 188 (e)).
  • PRLI was created to enable previously owned City land to be sold without the reserve restriction that limits how proceeds from land sale can be used.
  • Company earnings can be distributed as dividends to the City for its general use.
