The province is pitching in $545,770 for road rehabilitation in Cookstown.
The money will help the Town of Innisfil conduct work on Queen and Church streets, Barrie-Innisfil MPP Andrea Khanjin noted in a news release.
The funding will come from the province’s Connecting Links program, which provides up to 90 per cent of eligible project costs, including a maximum of $3 million for road projects and $5 million for bridge projects.
“Roads and bridges are vital links that connect people to jobs, housing and make it easier for people to get where they need to go,” Khanjin said. “Our government is providing the funding municipalities need to ensure their transportation infrastructure is safe and reliable for generations to come.”
Projects eligible for funding through the Connecting Links program, the release stated, include “the design, construction, renewal, rehabilitation and replacement of municipal roads and bridges that run through communities and connect to provincial highways.”
Eligible municipalities can apply for 2024-25 Connecting Links funding later this year, when the intake opens.
