A beautification project in the Town of Tecumseh will move forward thanks to a grant from the provincial government.
Queens Park has provided $240,000 through its Rural Economic Development (RED) Program. The money will support efforts to improve the landscaping along Lesperance Road between McNorton Street and First Street.
"We are grateful to the Ontario government for their continued support through the RED program, which enables us to enhance the character and livability of our community," said Mayor Gary McNamara. "The Tecumseh Road Main Street CIP Streetscaping and Landscaping Beautification project is an essential step in creating a vibrant, connected, and welcoming space for residents and visitors alike."
Windsor-Tecumseh MPP Andrew Dowie says the funding comes from a $5.7-million fund, which will support 85 projects across Ontario.
"I'm proud to see our government's support for the Lesperance North project building out the long-awaited revitalization of Tecumseh's Mainstreet business district," said Dowie. "This investment through the RED Fund will modernize and amplify our historical public infrastructure that Tecumseh residents have loved for decades."
Construction is expected to begin next spring.
