To assist in the COVID-19 recovery, municipalities in Perth and Wellington Counties will benefit from over $2.7 million in municipal infrastructure funding.
Funds will come from the federal and provincial government’s COVID Stream and are intended to help municipalities build and repair roads, bridges, water and wastewater infrastructure.
Perth-Wellington MPP Randy Pettapiece called it welcome news for area municipalities.
“Local municipalities need to be able to maintain the infrastructure we count on,” Pettapiece said. “This funding will help them do it.”
“This investment provides the predictable and stable infrastructure funding municipalities have asked for in the wake of COVID-19,” said Laurie Scott, Minister of Infrastructure. “With this COVID Stream funding we are working directly with our municipal partners to deliver community infrastructure.”
Federal government guidelines require that all applications be submitted by March 31, 2021. Projects must be completed by December 31, 2021.
