Alfred-Plantagenet council and administration have the pleasant task of deciding how the municipality will use its annual gasoline tax subsidies for the next five years.<\/p>\n
Chief Administrator Michel Potvin presented council with a short summary report on Alfred-Plantagenet\u2019s future shares of all the federal gasoline tax money collected within the township. The municipality can expect to receive more than $300,000 in support payments from Ottawa under the federal gasoline tax-sharing program.<\/p>\n
Under the program every municipality in Canada receives a percentage of the federal gasoline tax, based on the amount of gasoline sold within the boundaries of the municipality. The money is administered through the Community Futures Development Fund of Canada (CFDFC). Municipalities that receive gas tax funds may use the money for any projects that fall within 18 criteria, ranging from roads to recreational facilities.<\/p>\n

\nDuring the 2023 to 2024 fiscal year, the township received $312,798. The township will receive the same amount for the 2024 to 2025 fiscal year.<\/p>\n
