The Regional District of Fraser-Fort George’s Board of Directors has approved the 2024 operating budget.
According to the RDFFG, expenditures in 2024 will total $57.4 million, $22.6 of which will be funded through property taxation.
Most of the rest of the other funding will come through grants, user fees and the use of reserve funds.
“The 2024 budget is a reflection of rising financial pressures resulting from inflation, regulatory requirements and asset management,” said Regional District Chair Lara Beckett.
“The budget strives to find the balance between managing these costs along with strategic investments in capital projects in services such as solid waste management and 9-1-1 emergency response.”
Beckett noted an increase or decrease in in the overall requisition does not always translate to what residents will see reflected on their tax bill.
The budget can affect communities in the region depending on a number of variables such as services provided to the area, fluctuations in property assessments and a change in the amount of residential or commercial properties that share in the funding of a particular service.
