Saint Andrews Market Wharf, which has portions built in the 1950s and 1960s, is in need of repairs. The Town has been awarded grants from the Federal and Provincial Governments to pay 73.3% of the total estimated project costs of $7.83 million. The Town’s contribution to the project is estimated at $2.09 million. The Town already has approval for $1.85 million of new debt if Council proceeds with the project.
 
To Note: If we borrow the full amount, the annual debt repayment will be approximately $145,000 per year or an additional 2 cents on the mill rate.
