Disappointing News – Westport’s request for waste water replacement grant turned down.
To say that this decision is unfortunate, is an understatement. Staff are following up with the contact person mentioned in the letter below for the reasons why our application was not supported by the Ontario Liberal government.
CAO Paul Snider is contacting the offices of Minister J Leal and Minister B Mauro, the two Ministries involved in the decision making, and is requesting meetings between Mayor Jones and the Ministers.
Yes, this is a set back, however we will continue to work to resolve the challenges of our current waste water treatment system and together we will come through 2017 with a dependable solution.
I thought it would be interesting to everyone to read the letter, so please see it below.
