Economic development creates local jobs and generates significant tax revenue for Windsor. More than 40 cents of every tax dollar collected by Windsor is paid by Windsor businesses. Adding to this tax benefit is the fact that businesses do not directly use many town services (e.g., almost 70% of the town budget supports the Board of Education). The tax revenue paid by new businesses has helped to offset rising municipal costs, keeping taxes low, but thus far has not exceeded annual expenditure increases due to rising costs.
