The Saint-Laurent’s 2027 budget and 2027-2036 PDI will be forwarded to the Montréal City Council with a view to their upcoming adoption.

“In recent years, Saint-Laurent has made spectacular progress while continuing its rapid population growth and sustained development. Intent on encouraging our business community to take advantage of the arrival of the five REM stations, Saint-Laurent’s administration presented two promising and complementary master plans earlier this year. Covering the Hodge-Lebeau area and the southern gateway area, these will further stimulate this momentum. Saint-Laurent has therefore ensured that it has prepared a balanced and responsible budget for 2027 that will support both these future developments and the longevity of our existing infrastructure. This approach makes it possible to meet the current needs of our population while preserving the value of our heritage for the benefit of future generations.”
