    Municipalities throughout the province are wondering where the money is.

    Municipalities NL hosted a packed symposium in Gander last week. Corner Brook Mayor Jim Parsons says municipalities depend a lot on multi-year funding for projects and the money is late coming this year. He says this means delays with projects like paving. Mayor Parsons says a little more consistency is needed with funding programs so communities can get the money on time and make plans accordingly.
