2024 Budget for Fundy Rural District

Municipalities set their own budgets and tax rates. Not so with a Rural District. The budgets for the Rural District are dictated by the government . The budget was delivered late in December 2023.
Some highlights
 Your advisory council had no input in preparation of this budget
 All figures came directly from the provincial government
 The budget is based on geography of former L*Ds and not on wards
 Copies are available on request for anyone who wishes to see the individual budget for the area you live in
 Each former L*D will be covered for highlights in following posts
 All budgets include new and increased payments to the Regional Service Commission for new mandates including new payments for 5 buildings in Saint John ( this was voted down by residents)
 All budgets require property owners to pay for a multimillion contract with a company for tourism promotion and economic development in the region
 Bottom Line is for former L*Ds
1. Westfield West and East tax increase of 10%
2. Greenwich tax increase of 4.5%
3. Petersville increase 1.4%
4. Simonds Increase of 5.4%
5. Rothesay increase of 1%
6. Kingston decrease of 2%

Details to follow for each former L*D

Just a great project by volunteers of the Westfield & District Recreation Association Inc. to recycle some old boards from Welsford and combine them with some new boards. Tools, equipment , lumber, paint and time was donated by our committed community members so the rink could be ready for the cold weather . The fire pit has been renewed and the landscaping completed. We now have an agreement in place with the fire department to install an underground tank at the site. This will not only provide better fire protection for the area but will allow the volunteers to flood the rink when necessary. This is a great example of a community coming together.
