Town of Riverview Receives Federal Funding for Important Infrastructure Upgrades
August 25, 2009 -- Riverview, New Brunswick -- MP Rob Moore was in Riverview today to announce federal funding for upgrades to the town’s waste water system.
"This substantial investment from our federal government will help with significant upgrades to wastewater infrastructure in Riverview, and it is also important for developments in new residential and commercial areas," said MP Moore. "The funding comes as part of our government’s infrastructure development program, which recognizes that modern, reliable infrastructure can improve quality of life, attract business and create jobs today and for years to come."
The governments of Canada will invest $1.4 million towards the cost of the project.
Funding for the project will improve the reliability and performance of the wastewater system in the Town of Riverview, including the design, tender and construction of a new sanitary pumping station, gravity trunk mains, and force mains. It will also allow development along the newly built Gunningsville Boulevard and reduce the current demands on an existing station located on Pine Glen Road.
This project is one of 32 across the province that will get underway quickly, thanks to a joint federal-provincial investment of more than $48 million, which was announced on July 24 of this year.
Funding for the project is being delivered under the Building Canada Fund (BCF), the Government of Canada's flagship infrastructure program, which addresses local and regional infrastructure needs while also advancing national priorities that are important to Canadians: a stronger economy, a cleaner environment, and better communities.
Rob Moore is the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Justice and the MP for Fundy Royal.
