It looks like there is a slight chance that the City might get even less help from the Pallister Government when it comes to road work this year.
A recent letter from Jeff Wharton, the Minister of Municipal Relations, says that the announced $200K is just the ceiling for funding that Thompson is eligible for. The actual amount provided, according to the Minister, is dependent on the actual costs incurred by the City.
The letter, dated August 15th, says that the deadline for completing the approved road projects and submitting all funding claims to the Province is March 1st, 2019.
Earlier this month, multiple members of City Council voiced their displeasure for the then-recently announced $200K, half of what the City says they were assured by Wharton’s office they would be getting.
