Capital Budget Reviewed

The capital budget for the Fort Frances operations and facilities department got a look through yesterday.

Some of the $6.8 million worth of work needs government assistance, but C.A.O. Mark McCaig warned councillors not to hold too much stock in that funding being there.

"There seems to be a thought you can go out there and hammer away for a grant," said McCaig. "Sure, that's the approach, but you'd better have a game plan for which one you want and there'd better one available."

Continued work along Portage Avenue and new upgrades to the east end of Scott Street account for much of the capital works projects.
