The City of Weyburn received $1,562,328 through the program to construct a new fleet storage building for the Public Works department. The Town of Francis received $31,189 for an upgrade to their town shop, while the Town of Midale got funding for three projects, including $61,400 for an extension of Macoun Avenue to Grid road 606; $7,600 for subdividing land for a new fire hall; and $17,812 for water and sewer mains. The Town of Ogema received $57,923 for wastewater lines upgrades, and the Town of Radville received $115,989 for street upgrades. The Town of Stoughton received $93,280 for replacement of the main water supply line, while the Town of Yellow Grass received funding of $10,000 for crack sealing of streets; $36,000 for a new street sweeper; and $3,202 for a new generator for their water supply system.
This $37 million investment is a great step in growing our rural infrastructure and partnerships with rural municipalities, Highways Minister Fred Bradshaw said. I would like to thank the partnership committee for the work they have done with the ministry on this project as this will increase safety for motorists, create jobs and contribute to our province s economic recovery. In 2020-21, the Ministry of Highways entered into six other partnerships with rural municipalities. Partnership investments support local economies by building transportation assets that last, setting the stage for continued growth once the pandemic is behind us. These collaborations address shared challenges and allocate limited resources more effectively, making communities better places to live and work.
