Municipal auditor delivers good news to Wellington North

Wellington North is "headed in the right direction" when it comes to its finances.

A municipal auditor's report shows the municipality paid off $1.5 million in long term debt in 2018, while spending millions on infrastructure renewal and not depleting reserves.

Mayor Andy Lennox said the teamwork, and contributions from provincial and federal partners have made it so they can continue to pay down debt, build some reserves for future capital spending, and continue to increase infrastructure renewal.

Mayor Lennox said those three goals have been the focus for Wellington North and it’s good to see the auditor’s report confirms that.
