Draft Capital Budget for City of Dryden

There will be fewer goodies under the Christmas tree for City Departments this year.
Dryden Council has received a draft Capital Budget for 2009 and Treasurer Linda McNaughton says the forecast has been trimmed down from previous years.
The draft budget contains 38-projects, totalling just under $39-million.
A good chunk of the work is covered by Grants, with the remainder coming from long-term debt.
One project will be funded by money from the Hydro reserve.
The Municipal contribution would be $577,000.
The draft capital budget has not been finalized.
