Municipality of the County of Inverness Warden Bonnie MacIsaac said there were plenty of highlights for the area in 2023.
First off, she pointed to water and sewer improvements in the municipality, highlighted by a transformational $24 million wastewater treatment plant and distribution line announcement back in March. MacIsaac said it is the largest infrastructure taken on by Inverness, noting the residents will see the first phase of the project start in the spring.
