City, regional district receive waste disposal capital grants
The City of Terrace is being relieved of the unexpected financial burden of dealing with the closure of its garbage dump just off Hwy 113 north of the city thanks to a $5 million grant announced by municipal affairs minister Anne Kang during a visit to city hall this morning.
But having to meet enhanced provincial environmental standards strained the city’s ability to also provide for other capital projects, said Terrace mayor Sean Bujtas in thanking Kang for visiting the city and for providing the grant.“We can now divert that money to other infrastructure projects,” said Bujtas of the $5 million now available for other uses.
Kitimat mayor Phil Germuth, in his capacity as chair of the regional district board, was on hand to thank Kang.“Twelve years was the plan but it has now filled up with all the development going on,” said Germuth.
