Simcoe-Grey MPP Brian Saunderson has announced that the Ontario Government is investing more than $16 million to help renew and rehabilitate critical infrastructure in the region.
The announcement came Dec. 13.
The funding is being delivered through the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund and is part of the government’s plan to support economic growth and job creation.
“I am very pleased to announce the 2024 OCIF funding allocations and to share the amounts each municipality in Simcoe-Grey will receive,” MPP Saunderson said.
The 2024 OCIF funding allocations are as follows:
- Township of Adjala-Tosorontio: $424,723

Funding allocations are based on a formula that considers each community’s different needs and economic conditions.
