More Support for Municipal Infrastructure
December 17, 2012
Ontario Government Strengthening Communities, Creating Jobs
Ontario is increasing support for critical road, bridge, water and wastewater projects under the Municipal Infrastructure Strategy.The McGuinty government is now investing nearly $90 million to help municipalities undertake critical infrastructure projects that strengthen local economies and create jobs, up from $51 million announced in August. The increase will help more municipalities maintain and repair their critical infrastructure.
Municipalities can apply for funding online by Jan. 9, 2013. Applications must show how projects fit within a comprehensive asset management plan.
Investing in infrastructure is part of the McGuinty government's plan to create jobs for
Ontarians and strengthen the economy. A strong economy protects the services that mean the most to families - health care and education.
