The Ontario government is investing $34,999,995 for water infrastructure to help build approximately 1,966 new homes in Adjala-Tosorontio.
The funding is being delivered through the province’s Housing Enabling Water Systems Fund – a stream of the Municipal Housing Infrastructure Program (MHIP).
Brian Saunderson, MPP for Simcoe-Grey, made the announcement at the town administration centre on Thursday, Aug. 20.
“I want to congratulate Mayor Scott Anderson, the Council and the senior administration team at Adjala-Tosorontio on securing this critical funding for this important infrastructure project,” said MPP Saunderson. “Our government is committed to working with our municipal partners to enable the development of much-needed housing in Simcoe-Grey and across the province.”
Adjala-Tosorontio will use the funding to construct the new Everett Wastewater Treatment Plant and expand water systems. The project will help unlock more housing opportunities and support economic growth in the local community.
“This provincial funding removes an environmental impediment and paves the way for responsible growth in our community,” said Adjala-Tosorontio Mayor Scott Anderson. “Working closely with township staff, our development partners, and multiple provincial ministries, we’ve laid the groundwork to support sustainable development that will serve Adjala-Tosorontio for generations to come. The township extends its sincere thanks to the Province of Ontario for recognizing the importance of this project and its positive impact on residents.”
The MHIP is part of the government’s plan to protect Ontario and includes historic investments in housing- and community-enabling infrastructure that will help municipalities deliver the core infrastructure needed, such as roads and water systems, to lay the foundation for new homes in communities across the province.
