It’s a big commitment to economic development, as well as land use planning in the Pontiac region.
Pontiac’s Council of Mayors met on Wednesday, November 23rd to adopt a balanced $9.5 million budget for next year, which they say will also allow them to focus on things like property assessment and public safety.
More than $5.1 million dollars will be spent on economic recovery and development within Pontiac for 2023, with the rest of the budget split up between items like transportation, renovation, and administration costs.
Kim Lesage, Pontiac’s Interim Director General, says $5.3 million of the MRC Pontiac’s spending next year will be covered by grants and revenues from their municipal services.
The municipal share will also see a small decrease of less than half a cent per $100 of standardized property value.
