A 2.5 per cent increase to property taxes for Hastings County residents is on the way in 2017.
This comes after council approved the county’s 2017 budget of just over $137-million.
CAO Jim Pine explains what the 2.5 per cent increase will mean for taxpayers.
Pine says the budget has money set aside for our local hospital.
Pine says the budget also has money ear-marked for buying five new ambulances and for renovations at Bancroft’s Centennial Manor.
