Prince George has been approved funding to update the transportation model and system planning.
The city will receive $145,000 from the federal Gas Tax fund.
“I am pleased to see the important work that will be done across British Columbia thanks to the federal Gas Tax Fund,” said Amarjeet Sohi, federal Minister of Infrastructure and Communities. “Whether a community needs to expand its recreational centre, repair roads, or make energy-saving upgrades, the Government of Canada will continue to invest in the local infrastructure Canadians want and need.”
This is to support a range of capital and capacity-building projects throughout BC, which include updates to drinking and waste-water facilities, recreational, and cultural infrastructure.
The provincial government, along with the Union of BC Municipalities will distribute the $193 million to 108 projects in BC.
