The Province of Nova Scotia is continuing to invest in municipal infrastructure projects through the Growth and Renewal for Infrastructure Development (GRID) Program.
Thirty-five projects will receive nearly $26.8 million in total, covering up to 50 per cent of eligible project costs.
“Our government is investing in municipalities so they can build more homes and create more resilient communities,” said John Lohr, Minister of Municipal Affairs. “The Growth and Renewal for Infrastructure Development Program will help build stronger municipalities that have the water, sewer and stormwater services they need.”
The GRID program was announced in October 2024 as a $15-million annual program supporting municipal infrastructure projects. An additional $11.8 million was added for 2024-25, given demand.
“The funding received from the Growth and Renewal for Infrastructure Development Program will help the Municipality of the County of Kings upgrade critical wastewater infrastructure in a growing village. These improvements will extend the lifespan and capacity of the wastewater treatment plant in Canning to support the continued delivery of a service that residents and businesses rely on 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” said Dave Corkum, Mayor, Municipality of the County of Kings.
Since 2021, the Province has invested $257.6 million in municipal infrastructure, including water, stormwater and wastewater projects, disaster mitigation projects and accessibility upgrades.
