The Ontario Government has earmarked $2,335,687 for infrastructure improvements in Aurora<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The investment, announced last week by Aurora-Oak Ridges-Richmond Hill MPP Michael Parsa, is part of an overall Ontario-wide $400 million infrastructure commitment for 2023 through the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund. (OCIF)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am pleased that the Town of Aurora is receiving this funding from the OCIF to assist with critical infrastructure needs that will benefit the citizens of our community,\u201d said Parsa in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Added Newmarket-Aurora MPP Dawn Gallagher Murphy: \u201cAs an MPP and resident of Aurora, I\u2019m proud of our government\u2019s investment that will support economic growth and job creation in the Town of Aurora. This funding will address critical infrastructure needs, including road, water, and wastewater projects. This is essential to the growth and prosperity of both the Town of Aurora and the Province of Ontario.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The OCIF program provides funding to eligible communities for just such projects and this allocation follows a $1 billion commitment made by the Progressive Conservative government last December for \u201ccritical infrastructure projects that support economic growth and job creation in small, rural, and northern communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOntario\u2019s small, rural and northern communities, like Aurora, are essential to the growth and prosperity of the Province,\u201d said Minister of Infrastructure Kinga Surma in a statement. \u201cOur government is continuing to provide stable funding to meet local infrastructure needs and provide support in response to pressures from inflation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy supporting key community infrastructure projects, we are helping to grow and build safer, more resilient communities for generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
