Fort Frances residents get their opportunity tonight to comment on the town's budget.
A public meeting will be held as part of tonight's council meeting. The town is calling for a 1.1 per cent hike in residential tax rates. It also plans to spend about $9.9 million in operating and about $15 million on the capital side. Just over a million of that would be funded through long-term debt over ten years.
Also tonight, Fort Frances town councillors will get an update on the progress of several work projects in the town. Council is also expected to formalize a contract with Bay City Contractors which is currently doing the road work on Victoria Avenue and Nelson Street, and later a section of Portage Avenue.
The public portion of tonight's meeting begins at about 6:00 p.m.
