The province has approved ten municipal projects in its 2020-21 Provincial Capital Assistance Program.
Four of those are in the Quad Counties:
-Town of Antigonish: $125,000 for sewage treatment plant backup generation
-Town of Port Hawkesbury: $15,330 for detailed engineering services for water distribution upgrades
-Municipality of the County of Antigonish: $39,630 for the replacement of the West River waterline
-Municipality of the District of St. Mary’s: $15,643 for inflow and infiltration study, Sherbrooke wastewater collection and treatment system
Chuck Porter, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, says it’s out of a total $675,477 in PCAP funding.
“The money will support key projects to help maintain and improve essential services for residents,” he says. “Access to safe drinking water, wastewater treatment… are vital for building strong, vibrant communities.”
The program funds up to 50 per cent of a project’s total cost.
