From the office of Norm Miller:
Today, the Government of Ontario announced its investment of $13,634,772 to help build and repair local infrastructure in Parry Sound – Muskoka.
This funding is part of the government’s expansion of the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (OCIF), which will invest an additional $1 billion over the next five years in municipal infrastructure in Ontario’s 424 small, rural, and northern communities. This multi-year funding will bring the government’s total investment to nearly $2 billion and will help build and repair roads, bridges, water and wastewater infrastructure in communities across the province.
“Small, rural, and northern municipalities face unique challenges and need support to keep their communities running,” said Parry Sound – Muskoka MPP Norman Miller. “I am pleased to see that the Government of Ontario is investing to provide stability and predictability in our communities. This will ensure that vital infrastructure can be repaired, built, and modernized in municipalities across Parry Sound – Muskoka.”
