Stephenville council talk taxes, CBC story

By Jaymie L. WhiteLocal Journalism Initiative ReporterSTEPHENVILLE — The most recent council meeting took place on Thursday, June 29 and dealt with Stephenville Airport corporation taxes, Canada Community Building Fund application, and a recent CBC news article entitled ‘Stephenville cuts community funding to keep airport running’. Myra White moved that the Town, upon the sale of the Stephenville Airport, write off the outstanding pro-rated property and business tax to the date of sale in the fiscal year 2023 and all outstanding interest for the Stephenville Airport Corporation (SAC). Yes, we'll get any residual on whatever else they owe us, but we are a town that's had to make a lot of tough decisions. "Management developed a call, an expression of interest to all of our community groups because some community groups probably didn't realize that we had this grant proposal. We're going to do two calls per year for community groups, nonprofits who want to receive funding from the town of Stephenville.
