A huge decision has been put before the residents of Campobelo Island.
Residents will vote through a plebiscite on May.10th if they want to become a rural community or remain a local service district.
Last year, 50 residents petitioned Fredericton to conduct a study on the feasibility of establishing a rural community.
The study shows of the 330 residents who are qualified to vote, 90 per cent were in favour of both establishing a rural community and holding a pledbiscite.”
Unlike a local service district, a rural community includes a mayor and four councilors that has decision-making authority over certain areas.
