Prince Edward County council begins its budget setting process this morning at Shire Hall in Picton.
Staff will present a draft 2018 budget 3.8% higher than last year, but when assessment growth is factored in due to new development, it’s just 1.3% higher.
Staff is proposing a significant capital budget for next year, at over 44 million dollars.
Prince Edward County council has set aside the entire work week to come up with a budget.
