Two major road and bridge reconstruction projects in Oxford County have been nominated for Federal and Provincial funding.
BLANDFORD-BLENHEIM - The Ontario Government has nominated Oxford County for Federal and Provincial Funding.
MPP Ernie Hardeman says this is part of the joint Federal-Provincial-Municipal investing in Canada Infrastructure Program. In Zorra Township the 31st Line Road reconstruction has been nominated for $404,117.92 in Provincial funding. Over in Blandford-Blenheim, the reconstruction of Bridge 24 over the Nith River has been nominated for $1.3 million in funding. Hardeman says we need to build and maintain our roads and bridges to help get people to work and home safely everyday.
"These improvement projects will help support our local business by making it easier for people to get around and provide good jobs to our communities.”
These new projects under the Rural and Northern Stream of the Investing in Canadian Infrastructure Program are in addition to the 49 projects across Ontario that were nominated for review on May 10th. The federal government will review these projects and make final funding decisions.
Hardeman says these are important investments for Oxford County.
“Getting around in Oxford often means driving, and that’s why our government is committed to investing in our roads and bridges. That’s why we're supporting investments in our rural infrastructure which can create jobs, make it easier to get around our communities and help grow our local economy.”
