The Town of Bay Bulls will undertake some $2 million worth of road work without hardly dipping into its on coffers thanks to the provincial government.
Council voted this week to accept the funding agreement for the Phase 1 and 2 upgrades to Northside Road.
The project is valued at $2 million, but the Town will only be on the hook for $184,000 thanks to the funding split with the provincial government.
“I think it’s notable to say that we just received $1.8 million in funding over a 90/10 share,” said Town Manager Jennifer Aspell, to the agreement of councillors.
The motion, moved by Deputy Mayor Jason O’Brien and seconded by councillor Corey Ronayne, was approved unanimously, excepting that councillor Jason Sullivan was absent from the meeting.
