Perth–Wellington MPP Randy Pettapiece has announced $7 million for 11 local municipalities to address local community infrastructure needs.
Pettapiece said the money distributed through the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (OCIF) will support local municipalities to build and repair roads, bridges, water and wastewater infrastructure.
This funding is a part of Ontario’s approximately $200 million commitment across the province. It is intended to address municipalities' core infrastructure projects and asset management planning needs in 2020.
“Small and rural municipalities have unique infrastructure needs,” explained Pettapiece, “I have always done everything I can to support local priorities in every corner of our riding.”
“This investment provides the predictable and stable infrastructure funding small, rural and northern municipalities have asked for,” said Minister of Infrastructure Laurie Scott. “With this OCIF funding we are working directly with our municipal partners to deliver community infrastructure.”
