Colborne gets project approval A $300,000 project in the Township of Colborne has been approved under the Canada/Ontario Lpfra-struclure Works program, Huron-Bruce MP Paul Steckle, Huron MPP Paul Klopp and Reeve Bill Vanstone announced July 14. Funding will be used to construct a new municipal building to replace offices currently located in the 150- year-old former hotel and will create an estimated 181 person- weeks of employment. The new building will be wheelchair access­ ible, with meeting rooms and modernized council chambers to accommodate the public. Work will begin immediately and should be completed by November. "This program has offered communities across Ontario the opportunity to proceed with projects in a timely fashion. This project will directly and positively affect the residents of Colborne," said Mr. Steckle. "In addition to creating jobs, this project will enhance the quality of life for residents by providing a new gathering place for community events and allowing for more public input al council meetings," said Mr. Klopp. "The council oi tne Township of Colborne is pleased to receive the support of the federal and _ ----— • provincial governments and the ratepayers of the township to provide a facility which will create short-term employment for several area contractors,” said Mr. Vanstone. "The increased accessi­ bility, energy conservation and reduced maintenance costs of the new building will benefit the ratepayers of Colborne Township." Canada/Ontario Infrastructure Works is a $2.1 billion shared-cost program designed to create jobs through local priority projects which will improve the province’s infrastructure and therefore its competitive position. Canada, Ontario and local partners are each contributing one-third of the project • . funding. The program, which is expected to create up to 37,000 direct and indirect jobs, is a positive example of the federal, provincial and local levels of government working co­ operatively to foster economic development and growth.
