Hudson's Hope approves $3 million budget with BC Hydro grant rise
Hudson's Hope will spend $3 million this year with $1.8 million locally, funded mainly by a $213000 increase in BC Hydro per megawatt grant. Projects include a new fire hall at Beryl Prairie, street paving, showers at King Gething campsite, tennis court repaving, a new grader, and a riding lawn mower. Mayor Les Braaten notes increased grant support reduced local taxes while some items like a new garbage truck and Dinosaur Lake park expansion wait until next year.
