DEVOLIN ANNOUNCES SUCCESSFUL BUILDING CANADA FUND SCOPE CHANGE APPLICATION FOR CAVAN
MONAGHAN
MILLBROOK: Local MP Barry Devolin, on behalf of the Honourable Gary Goodyear, Minister of State (Science and Technology / Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario), today announced the successful Building Canada Fund - Communities Component (BCF-CC) scope change application submitted earlier this year by Township of Cavan Monaghan.
The application was approved by the BCF-CC Joint Secretariat encompassing representatives from both the federal and provincial governments. Today's announcement also marks the end of the
$30 million water and wastewater proposal for Fraserville.
The revised agreement includes expanding and upgrading the Millbrook Wastewater Treatment Plant to a tertiary treatment facility, and the upgrading of the Tupper Street Primary Sewage Pumping Station; the replacement or expansion of the existing standpipe, or the construction of a second storage facility and the extension of water and wastewater services 870 metres north along County Road 10 to the Municipal Offices.
“This scope change approval supports and honours a commitment by the elected officials of Cavan Monaghan to explore other options for their portion of the BCF-CC," said Devolin. "Thanks to the excellent cooperative relationship between all levels of government, we are working together to help communities like Millbrook prepare for growth in the short term and to thrive in the future."
“I want to thank our Federal and Provincial partners Barry Devolin, MP, Laurie Scott, MPP and Rick Johnson former MPP for their support and hard work in obtaining the Building Canada Fund," said John Fallis, Mayor of Cavan Monaghan. "The project will enable the Township to improve the quality of wastewater treatment. It has also allowed Council to plan for future growth.”
All related work must be completed within the program deadline of March 31, 2016.
