Ontario Introduces Next Step to Strengthen Municipal Infrastructure

Ontario is now accepting applications for road, bridge, water and wastewater projects under its Municipal Infrastructure Strategy.

Municipalities can apply online for a share of $51 million under the strategy to undertake critical infrastructure projects that strengthen local economies and create jobs. The application deadline is 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.
