Nanaimo city council is going to be deciding Friday whether or not a number of projects will get funding in next year’s budget.

It’s been a week full of conversations around the budget, with an e-town hall taking place Monday, and a special finance and audit committee meeting Wednesday, ahead of Friday’s meeting.

Right now the city is forecasting a property tax increase of eight point seven per cent, though that number will change by the end of the day depending on council’s decisions.

Today on the program we’ll share some information on what those decision points are, and bring you up to speed on where the city is in its budgeting process.
