Nutrien Civic Centre in Sussex says it did not receive its budgeted quarterly payment from the Kings Regional Service Commission. (CBC)
The future of the Nutrien Civic Centre in Sussex is still up in the air after the board of the non-profit centre announced its closure this week.
Centre director Stefanie McFarlane said Thursday that the centre was unable to make payroll because it didn’t get expected payments from the Kings Regional Service Commission.
The commission collects funds from four municipalities — Sussex, Valley Waters, Butternut Valley and the Rural District of Kings — to cover the operating subsidy for the centre.
But some local officials say the formula to share the cost is unfair.
