Thursday's BET Budget Vote Determines if

Renovation Can Proceed

 

 

The BET’s annual budgeting process will conclude when it votes on the budget and capital plan at its April  3rd Decision Day from 9am-5pm in the Town Hall Meeting Room. This meeting is open to the public. It will also be live streamed on GCTV's YouTube channel. 

 

If the BET approves $2mm A&E/Design funds in next year’s capital budget, the Riverside renovation project can move forward (pending RTM approval). If you’d like to express or reiterate your support for the renovation project, we encourage you to contact the BET. Every voice counts!
