Waterloo-Wellington
MPP Ted Arnott has announced that the Ontario Government
through the SuperBuild Corporation is providing the
Township of Mapleton with up to $440,000 for their water
and sewer project for the community of Moorefield.
“Mayor
Carl Hall, Council and staff are to be congratulated
for their success in this application process. I am
pleased that these priorities are being addressed for
the residents of Moorefield,” said Mr. Arnott.
“The
Township of Mapleton is doing their part in the partnership
that gears projects towards the clean water objectives
set out by the Ministry of the Environment. Township
Council and staff have demonstrated their leadership
in this regard at meetings I have arranged at Queen’s
Park. It is because of their strong commitment that
I strongly supported their applications and raised the
need to get the funding out as soon as possible within
Caucus, with the President and CEO of SuperBuild, David
Lindsay and in the Legislative Assembly,” he concluded.
As
stated in a letter from Agriculture, Food and Rural
Affairs Minister Brian Coburn, the Government of Ontario
has approved the funding of one-third of the eligible
costs, up to $40,000, towards the preliminary engineering
study and one-third funding of the eligible costs, up
to $400,000, for the detailed engineering design work.
The funding is being made available under the Ontario
Small Town and Rural Development Infrastructure initiative.
