Another significant point is, that... is the comma correct here?

Without an entire sentence, it's impossible to say.

Another significant point is that they have spent 75% of the money already.
Another significant point is, that aside, that there is still 25% of the money left for them to spend on something more worthwhile.

In your last sentence, can we add a 'to' before the word 'spend'?

Thank you.

You were asked for the entire sentence that contained your question. Until you answer that question, we will not answer yours.

Yes, Heidi, it was a typo. I missed out the word "to". I have now added it. Thanks.

I'm not sure who that was aimed at, Mike. Heidi L isn't the OP.
