Atikokan Budget Talks



Atikokan town council is giving its residents an opportunity to have some input into the development of the 2011 budget.

Mayor Dennis Brown says they will hold a luncheon meeting next Wednesday at the Municipal office.

"We're having a presentation to council of where we're at so far by staff," says Brown. "Then we're going to have a public meeting on Wednesday March 23 at noon to see if residents and local business owners will come out and provide some input into what we're planning."

Brown says it's too early to say what kind of tax increase, if any, will be brought forward.

One of the major projects is to replace an aging ice arena.
