Better Communities with Infrastructure Planning

VICTORIA – (October 6, 2008) - Fifty-eight local governments across B.C. will share $819,400 from the second round of the Province’s annual Infrastructure Planning Grant program, helping them to study the feasibility of infrastructure projects in their communities, Community Development Minister Blair Lekstrom announced.

The Infrastructure Planning Grant Program offers grants up to $10,000 to help local governments plan, design and manage infrastructure.

The grants support projects that improve infrastructure sustainability such as long-term comprehensive plans and studies needed to assess the economic and environmental feasibility proposed for water, sewer, drainage and transportation infrastructure.

The first round of funding was announced in June.
