KMTS Citizen's Prosperity Fund

The City of Kenora will be dipping into the KMTS Citizen's Prosperity Fund once again to pay for a number of large capital projects.

Council yesterday agreed to borrow over 7.9 million dollars to pay for the new fire hall, the Discovery Center and a couple paving projects.

Councillor Ron Lunny admits the three percent interest on the loan is less than the city is currently making on their investments through the Prosperity Fund.

Council learned yesterday the Citizen's Prosperity Fund earned 5.37 percent in interest last year on the 42 million dollar trust.
