Payson Town Council's recent meeting spotlighted a crucial budget discussion, particularly focusing on the inclusion of several PFAS treatment facilities in the town's capital projects for the year. The council is set to adopt a final budget that outlines these projects, which are being funded through state agency grants aimed at enhancing the water department's capabilities.

During the meeting, a council member raised questions about specific items in the budget, particularly regarding the $1.5 million allocation for an enhanced event center. The member sought clarity on the payment preservation effort associated with this funding, including details on its intended use and timeline for expenditure.

As the council moves forward with the budget adoption, the emphasis on water treatment facilities highlights Payson's commitment to addressing environmental concerns while also managing community development projects. The outcome of these discussions will shape the town's financial landscape and infrastructure improvements in the coming year.
