Residents of four local service districts are voting today are whether or not they want to keep supporting the River Valley Community Centre with their tax
dollars.
The Centre is paid off so a new tax rate would be much lower but if it’s voted down, anyone using the facility would be subject to much higher user fees.
Last month, Grand Bay-Westfield Mayor Grace Losier told CHSJ News says even if you’re not directly using the arena, the whole community benefits by having this kind of facility.
Some residents have said they spent enough time supporting the centre with their tax dollars and they would like to use it for something else.
Two of the LSD’s will be voting on the 15th because poor weather postponed their info sessions.
Ivan Corbett of Local Government in Hampton tells us complete voting results will be released on January 16th.
