Potholes trump policy as Norfolk taps surplus for road repairs

Norfolk County council’s recent decision to pour upwards of $1 million into the repair of some of its roads has come with a warning from the municipality’s top administrator. The funding will be drawn from an expected surplus from the 2025 levy operating budget. Three years ago, council approved a policy in which surplus money is earmarked for a contingency reserve or used to reduce the number of approved projects to be funded by debt.
