Funding announced for municipal infrastructure improvements in Labrador City

A combined investment of approximately $5.7 million from the provincial, federal, and municipal governments was announced in Labrador City earlier this week.

The investment includes the extension of water, sewer and stormwater services along a 400-metre section of Waxwing Avenue in the town. The first phase of the project will include detailed engineering design, site preparation, excavation, as well as the installation of 52 individual service lines that can accommodate future residential development.

The province was allocated $123.1 million to address municipal infrastructure projects that preserve existing capacity or increase reliability and access to drinking water, wastewater, stormwater and solid waste systems to support current and future populations. By building or improving this critical infrastructure in the province, opportunities to build new homes and support community growth are increased.
