STRATFORD – Wellington County municipalities are set to get a boost from the provincial government for infrastructure projects.
Yesterday, Perth-Wellington MPP Matthew Rae announced $14.2 million in funding from the province’s Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund for local infrastructure projects in 2025.
Wellington County will recieve more than $2.35 million, Wellington North over $1.4 million, Minto will get more than $1.5 million, and Mapleton over $1.3 million.
The funding is part of the government’s $190 billion capital plan to build and expand more homes, highways, hospitals, transit, and high-speed internet across the province.
The Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund provides funding for local infrastructure projects in municipalities with populations under 100,000, rural and northern municipalities, as well as for Local Services Boards that own water or wastewater systems.
