For the first time in council’s memory, the Municipality of the District of Guysborough received no cost-sharing funds from the province for paving projects on J-class roads this year. The lack of support for local paving projects was brought to the attention of council at the regular monthly meeting on Wednesday.
Council passed a motion to send a letter to the Minister of Public Works Kim Masland and Guysborough-Tracadie MLA Greg Morrow asking why no funding was forthcoming for the 2024-2025 year. And furthermore, to ask that the province revisit its decision not to provide cost-sharing on paving projects in the municipality this year
