Deadline Nears for Input on Wawa's Proposed 2024-27 Capital Budget

Time's running out for those wishing to provide input on the Municipality of Wawa's proposed capital budget.

Treasurer Manuela Batovanja explains the draft Capital Budget presented late last month covers not just next year, but several, the Municipality's first "true multi-year budget".

Batovanja outlines the size of the capital budget.

Continuing projects mentioned include the Cemetery and Landfill expansions, though key projects outlined for 2024 include: a Town Hall redesign study; two phases of renovations at the Michipicoten Memorial Community Centre; structural repairs for the Drill Rig, followed by beautification; Fire Hall renovation design and drawing; and sidewalk replacement and ongoing pavement preservation.

The presentation can be viewed on the Municipality's YouTube channel - with the slide show on the Municipality's website - plans are to accept public input until this Wednesday, October 25th, then bring the capital budget up for Council approval November 7th, then present the operating budget November 14th.
