The Fundy Region Solid Waste Commission will be entering its first-ever deficit next month due to declining amounts of garbage being dumped since the recession in 2008.
That report came from the second-ever meeting of the Fundy Regional Services Commission. Grand Bay Westfield Mayor Grace Losier tells CHSJ News she’s not overly concerned, since the numbers may well stay steady–and if they don’t, there’s always the option of finding efficiencies within the organization or borrowing the necessary funds.
Losier says despite some important issues being raised the most recent meeting was an improvement after the first meeting of the Fundy Region Services Commission in which tension ran high between the rural areas and bigger municipalities.
