The Ontario government is investing $9,355,509.38 in critical infrastructure to facilitate the construction of up to 4,215 new homes in the County of Brant.
“Our Government is making sure rural communities are seeing the new investments, infrastructure and homes they need to thrive and create new jobs and opportunities”, said Will Bouma, Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) for Brantford-Brant. “This $9.33 million investment for Grand River Street North Road and Intersection Improvements will certainly help the fast-growing community of Paris while addressing transportation and infrastructure improvements.”
The funding is being delivered through the Housing-Enabling Core Servicing Stream under the Municipal Housing Infrastructure Program, which includes $400 million to help build, repair and maintain municipal roads, bridges and culverts that will promote housing growth in communities across Ontario.
“To keep pace with growing communities across our province, our government is helping municipalities build more homes faster than ever before,” said Kinga Surma, Minister of Infrastructure. “Families and residents need safe and reliable roads and bridges to access these homes and travel safely to and from their destinations. That’s why we are making targeted, local investments through the Housing-Enabling Core Servicing Stream to support the construction of municipal roads, bridges and culverts that keep residents safe and foster stronger, more connected communities across Ontario.”
“On behalf of the County of Brant, I extend our sincere gratitude to the Province of Ontario for its investment in our community through funding for the Grand River Street North Road and intersection improvements, “said David Bailey, Mayor for the County of Brant. “This is excellent news for Brant. As we all know, the County is a highly desirable place to live, and this funding represents a crucial step toward providing reliable, safe, and sustainable roadways to meet the needs of our growing community.”
