FROMOLIVIA: In Richardson, commercial properties make up 60% of the city’s tax base. This is a good thing for residents because it means a greater share of the property tax burden is shouldered by businesses. But the coronavirus pandemic led to an uptick in commercial vacancies, which has had a negative e ect on the city’s overall property valuation. Read more about this trend in a story that begins on our front cover and continues on Page 18. Olivia Lueckemeyer, EDITOR
