Stratford gets $15M for water, energy and active transportation projects
Funding to come from 3 levels of government
Five community infrastructure projects in Stratford, P.E.I., are receiving a total of more than $15 million in combined funding from three levels of government.
The largest project, at a cost of more than $5.7 million, involves sewage and water distribution work at the Stratford Community Campus.
The campus, a community hub that will include recreational and cultural facilities along with other amenities, will also receive funding to provide solar power and construction of a 4,800-metre trail system that will connect to other active transportation links in the area.
The other projects are:
-
Construction of a new 300,000 gallon water storage reservoir with work including the associated piping, valves and appurtenances alongside the existing reservoir, ensuring a reliable and continuous supply of potable water for residents.
-
Restoration of the natural and structural capacity of Kelly's Pond watershed to mitigate the effects of increased rainfall and increased overland flooding.
More than $6 million in funding will come from the federal government, more than $5 million from the province and more than $4 million from the Town of Stratford.
