"Out of the Park"

The Federal and Provincial governments have given a boost, to the tune of 200 Million dollars towards the upgrade of the Woodward Avenue wastewater treatment plant.The province and feds are each contributing $100 million through the Green Infrastructure Fund, a stimulus program that focuses on large-scale environmental projects.

The 700 Million dollar upgrade is expected to enable future development, help control flooding and be a major step forward in the cleanup of the harbour.

The Mayor called the announcement yesterday "an out-of-the-park home run" for the city and the culmination of years of work. See Emma Reilly's coverage here.
