Time is running out to provide input on the Municipality of Wawa's proposed capital budget.
Presented to Council nearly a month ago, the draft document outlines projects not just for this year but the next four years - many "highly dependent" on outside funding - intended to align with the municipality's strategic plan and infrastructure needs.
In total, it proposes $160,785 from taxation, $885,125 from reserves, and $317,000 from grants to fund a total of $1,363,000 in new recommended projects, bringing the total for 2022's capital - with previous commitments - to $4,725,614, though there is a focus on maximizing outside funding while matching the asset management plan, regulatory requirements, and other needs.
CAO/Deputy Treasurer Maury O'Neill explains public input's being accepted until Friday, January 14th.
The presentation can be watched on the Municipality's YouTube channel or read on the Municipal website.
Plans are to present the municipality's operating budget next month, in hopes of approving the combined budget in early March.
