Wawa Municipal Council's approved the Municipality's 2021 Capital Budget.
Presented in a special meeting just over a month ago, the budget approved this week outlines over $10-million in proposed projects - nearly $3.4-million approved by Council in previous years, $1.6-million in recommended "high priority" projects, and more than $5-million "subject to funding" - but also outlined some projects planned to happen through 2024.
Much of the project costs will be covered by grants or donations, followed by contributions from reserves, with a low amount expected to come directly from taxation, while items relating to the water system would at least partly draw on water and sewer fees.
With the capital budget now approved, plans are to move onto the draft operating budget - the capital budget presentation suggested that would be presented in mid-February, for approval in mid-March.
