IMPORTANT NEWS - Chelsea receives green light for infrastructures project for the Centre-Village from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs

CHELSEA, July 10, 2014- Today, the Municipality of Chelsea received approval from the Ministère des Affaires municipales et de l'Occupation du territoire (MAMOT) giving the municipality the green light to begin construction of the wastewater and potable water systems for the Centre-Village sector.

This final approval was held up due to complaints made in 2012 to both the MAMOT and the Directeur general des élections (DGE) regarding the referendum process for the borrowing by-laws for this project. The DGE gave its decision in April 2014 and now the MAMOT has given a favorable decision on all four borrowing by-laws.

"While we were confident that the referendum process respected the law, we understand that the MAMOT and the DGE were obliged to respond to these complaints. We are very pleased with this decision as we can now begin work on these essential services for our residents and businesses
