WARD & UPTIGR4E CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS John C. Word, C.A. R. E. Uptigrove, C.A. Listowel (519) 291-3040 IT WAS GOOD NEWS for some and so-so news for others, when representatives from (municipalities around the Douglas Point area met Wednesday to hear a new formula for community impact grants from Ontario Hydro. Sam Horton, project manager of the Bruce Nuclear Power Development, introduced the plan, while Ontario Hydro Chairman Robert Taylor and Dennis Timbrell, Ontario's Minister of Energy, were on hand to answer any subsidiary questions. Province to compensate areas for Bruce nuclear development ` Ontario Minister of Energy, Dennis Timbrell and Ontario Hy- dro Chairman, Robert B. Taylor announced recently that annual grants to the municipalities, county and school boards serving the Bruce Nuclear Power De- velopment will be doubled to compensate for any adverse fin- ancial impact resulting from the project. Under the new formula, total grants will be about $500,000 an- nually. The new grants program, an- nounced at a meeting of muni- cipalofficials at BNPD, follows publication of a report by M. M. Dillon Ltd., Consulting Engineers and Planners, and suggestions by municipalities covered in the re- port. In effect, the formula attempts to set up an improved system of •(helping affected communities ;pay for the educational and municipal services required by the influx of a large number of people associated with the pro- ject. In making the announcement, Mr. Taylor said that the corpora - ;tion has no intention of allowing any community to suffer as a re- sult of the presence of a Hydro fa- cility. Mr. Taylor emphasized that the formula might be revised in later years. Hydro is leaving the door open, he said. Mr. Timbrell Said his Ministry was particularly pleased that the formula adopted by the corpora- tion is almost identical to that proposed by some of the muni- cipalities. The grant program calls for a total payment to be calculated as if the Hydro facilities were lo- cated in a single large com- munity, rather than in Bruce Township alone. After payment of the required grant in lieu of taxes to the Town- ship, the remaining amount will be distributed in proportion to the number of employee households in each municipality. For purposes of calculation, Hydro facilities in Bruce' will be counted from the beginning of construction rather than from in- service dates, since much of the impact takes place during the construction phase. The grants will be calculated retroactively to the year that the municipality first experienced financial -impact. Thus, the $50,000 grants already made to the Towns of Port -Elgin and Kin- cardine are to be considered an advance against the new plan. Those other municipalities that did not receive interim grants will receive retroactive payment in a single installment this year. Those municipalities directly affected are the Towns of Port Prices in effect till June 80 Elgin, Kincardine and South- ampton, the Townships. of Kin- cardine, Saugeen and Huron, and the Villages of Tiverton, Ripley and Paisley.
