Prince George, B.C. – Prince George City Council has delayed  making a decision on submitting an application for a  federal grant until  after  they have had a chance to  meet with residents of the Hart Highlands.

An information meeting with the  residents is set for Thursday evening at the Hart Highlands Elementary School.  At that meeting, City Staff will be able to  provide information  on the phase two of the sewer  installation  project which is proposed  for the area.

Area residents have  been calling on Council to seek  grant funding  to ease the pain of the  financial burden each  home owner would have to carry.  There is a fund the City could  try to tap, however,  City Staff have recommended  another project for that funding, saying  it is shovel ready,  while the Hart Highlands  project  has  hurdles to clear before it could  be considered  suitable.
