Stratford Town Council has approved the 2023/24 Town operating and capital budgets. The budgets are balanced without tax increases. There is a modest increase to the base rates in the Stratford Utility budget for the upcoming year. The Town’s operational budget has a surplus of just $300. The budget includes investment in the Community Campus and Michael Thomas Waterfront Park. The first phase of work at the Community Campus site is currently out for tender and the Michael Thomas Waterfront Park will see installation of a boardwalk this season.
