City grants projects with forest profits
After an extended period of consideration city council has agreed to grant $350,000 to six local projects from profits generated by the Alberni Valley Community Forest. At a public meeting on Monday elected representatives approved recommendations made by the Community Forest Legacy Committee, determining the investment of revenue from the 6,400-hectare forest the city owns by Sproat Lake. The Alberni Valley Regional Airport is by far the largest recipient with $185,750 allotted for a runway extension and a GPS system, bringing the facility a step closer to serving scheduled commercial flights.
