Accessibility Upgrades, New Sidewalk for Richmond County

Trevor Boudreau, MLA for Richmond, on behalf of Minister Lohr, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, announced the accessibility and sidewalk upgrades in Richmond County.

Warden Amanda Mombourquette welcomed the support of the Province, stating, "The Municipal Capacity Growth Fund is exactly the type of tool that we needed to kickstart these important safety and accessibility projects in our communities. Municipalities have huge infrastructure challenges, so provincial partnerships like this one are key to our ability to be able to better serve all of our citizens."

Richmond County received more than $234,000 through the program for the projects. An additional $234,000 was provided to the municipality through the Province’s Sustainable Services Growth Fund.
