News release - Andrea Khanjin, MPP of Barrie-Innisfil
The Ontario government is providing $545,770 to help Innisfil rehabilitate Queen Street and Church Street of Cookstown.
The funding is being delivered through the Connecting Links program and will help to support the safe movement of people and goods and spur economic growth.
“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,” said Andrea Khanjin, MPP for Barrie-Innisfil. “Our government is providing the funding municipalities need to ensure their transportation infrastructure is safe and reliable for generations to come."
The Connecting Links program provides funding for up to 90 per cent of eligible project costs. This includes a maximum of $3 million for road projects and $5 million for bridge projects.
Eligible costs include the design, construction, renewal, rehabilitation and replacement of
municipal roads and bridges that run through communities and connect to provincial highways.
“Our government is investing in municipal roads and bridges to support jobs and growth in our
local communities,” said Caroline Mulroney, Minister of Transportation.
“By helping municipalities make much-needed infrastructure improvements, our government is continuing to deliver on its plan to build a stronger Ontario and keep goods and people moving across the province.”
All eligible municipalities are encouraged to apply for 2024–25 Connecting Links program
funding when the intake opens later this year.
