The City of Windsor has approved its 2025 budget focused on investment, growth, and sustainability.

As part of the budget, Mayor Drew Dilkens included a $2.24 billion 10-year capital budget to sustain the city’s continued growth and development in the Sandwich South lands and surrounding areas. This includes $312.7 million in capital investments for 2025. Included in the overall investments for 2025:

  • $856.8 million for roads
  • $485.2 million for sewers
  • $186.2 million for parks and recreation
  • $182 million for transportation

Windsor has increased spending on roads and sewers infrastructure by 88 per cent since 2019.

“The 2025 City Budget focuses on investment, growth, and sustainability to support Windsor’s evolution,” Dilkens said. “With Windsor at an inflection point, navigating the opportunities and challenges associated with the rapid and unprecedented growth that has positioned us as one of the most important communities to watch in Ontario and Canada, this was another important budget year.

“The approved budget invests heavily in roads, sewers, parks, recreation, and transit; and focuses on supporting the increased growth and development in the Sandwich South lands and surrounding areas.”
