Millions in new funding announced for infrastructure projects in N.B.
MONCTON, N.B. — The federal and New Brunswick governments have announced an agreement to spend more than $176 million on 51 infrastructure projects.
According to a release, the federal government will provide up to 50 per cent of the funding for projects through the Clean Water and Wastewater Fund and the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund.
Among the list of 51 approved projects are a new stormwater basin in Moncton, new buses for Miramichi’s public transit fleet, and upgrades to a wastewater treatment facility in Fredericton.
