CITY SELLING 1.03 ACRES FOR $45,000.00

MARKET PRICE COULD BE OVER $1.5 MILLION WHOSE INTEREST IS CITY HALL LOOKING OUT FOR? GIVING AWAY OVER 1 ACRE FOR $45,000.00 $45K for Parkland? Nanaimo's Latest AAP Deserves Scrutiny It may be too late to stop it, but it's not too late to call it out.

Highlights: 2018 vs 2024 Category 2018 2024 Total Taxes & Fees $152,469,860 $217,486,779 Total Revenue $187,476,274 $271,766,975 Total Expenses $158,389,864 ...
