Belleville council is going to allow a longer period of time to pay off debt taken on to pay for costly infrastructure.
Council will now allow itself up to a maximum of 25 years to pay off infrastructure loans instead of the current 15.
Mayor Mitch Panciuk says allowing some projects to be paid off over a longer period gives council more flexibility and helps keep tax increases down.
Staff will decide on debt repayment timelines depending on how long the useful life is for the asset for which the money is being borrowed.
