The Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund is providing more than $6.9 million across 11 municipalities in Perth-Wellington to address local infrastructure needs.
MPP Randy Pettapiece says the funding will be critical for building and repairing roads, bridges, water and wastewater infrastructure.
The Ontario government is committing approximately $200 million to small, rural and northern communities. The funds are intended to help them address core infrastructure projects and asset management planning needs in 2021.
"Local municipalities have a partner in the province," said Perth-Wellington MPP Randy Pettapiece. "These funds will be critical for building and repairing roads, bridges, water and wastewater infrastructure."
"By investing in infrastructure projects across the province, we are strengthening and building communities," said Laurie Scott, Minister of Infrastructure.
"This is part of our ongoing commitment to support small, rural and northern municipalities across Ontario, providing stable funding needed to build long-term economic resilience."
