The City of Prince George received nearly $1.84 million in funding from the provincial government on Wednesday.
The funding was part of more than $16 million distributed to 54 communities in lieu of municipal property taxes on provincial facilities.
"These grants-in-lieu cover land and property owned by the provincial government, such as office buildings, warehouses and courthouses," Minister of Citizens' Services Jinny Sims said in a press release. "Local governments provide vital public services that benefit all members of their community."
The grant was a $24,489 increase over last year.
Schools, hospitals, highways, provincial forest land, provincial parks and B.C. Crown corporation lands are exempt from municipal property taxes and were not included in the calculation used to compensate the city.
