Some councillors aren’t keen to invest in the Victoriaville Centre after it ran $100,000 over budget last year.
Councillor Rebecca Johnson argues the centre’s future is too uncertain for her to be comfortable spending a proposed $90,000 for three projects this year.
“If we look at the projection, it’s $1.5 million to 2020. Why are we putting money in there for this when we might tear it down?”
Victoriaville officials are asking for $462,000 this year, slightly less than their budget ran in 2017.
They note one of the projects put forward in the budget is LED lighting intended to reduce operating costs. (File Photo)
