Major project starts, delivering services key highlight’s for Vernon Mayor
Victor Cumming had a lot of highlights to reflect on for 2024.
Speaking with Vernon Matters, the Mayor of Vernon said the city accomplished a lot this past year.
“I think the highlight in 2024 is maintaining services, that is the key of what we do, people pay their taxes to get services met and that’s always the focus of most of our staff and most of our energy to keep normal services operating well, whether that’s sewer or drinking water or roads, rec facilities, parks, that really is the focus of our efforts,” Cumming said.
“On the new side, of course breaking ground on the Active Living Centre (ALC), really a very significant project, probably the largest capital investment in Vernon’s history, in terms of dollars. So that’s very significant. People can go by and see the stairway tower is being built and the elevator shafts, et cetera, are all underway.
