Mount Pearl City council has inked a new memorandum of understanding with the Association for the Arts in Mount Pearl (AAMP) that will see taxpayers continue to provide a $10,000 annual operating subsidy to the community organization.
The new deal is effective from January 1, 2023, until December 31, 2025, and was approved by council during last week’s public meeting, with Mayor Dave Aker noting it was a “fine investment in the culture of our community.”
During that same meeting, council also approved the first installments of 2023 operating subsidies for both the Admiralty House Communication Museum and the Frosty Festival in the amounts of $57,500 and $35,000 respectively.
All three motions were approved unanimously.
