Big investment in water, sewer infrastructure in Grand-Bouctouche
All three levels of government are investing a combined $1.5 million in water and sanitary sewer infrastructure in Grand-Bouctouche.
The goal is to support more housing development and improve essential municipal services for current residents.
“Reliable infrastructure is at the heart of strong communities,” said Environment and Climate Change Minister Gilles LePage, who is also minister responsible for the Regional Development Corporation.
“By improving municipal infrastructure, we are creating the conditions for new housing development, strengthening essential services and supporting the community’s long-term growth.”
The project involves extending drinking water and sanitary sewer lines along Louis-Bourg and Opale streets, as well as street reconstruction and drainage improvements.
“This investment in essential water and wastewater infrastructure will help unlock up to 30 new housing units in Grand-Bouctouche,” said Mayor Aldéo Saulnier. “By strengthening our core services along Louis-Bourg and Opale streets, we are supporting sustainable growth and creating more housing opportunities for our community.”
The provincial government, through the Regional Development Corporation, is providing $523,048, while the federal government is contributing $784,650. The municipality is providing $231,602.
