Governments Invest in Energy Efficiency Projects in Corner Brook Housing Units

The provincial and federal government has announced an investment in a Furnace Replacement Project in 35 Newfoundland and Labrador Housing Corporation units in Corner Brook.

The investment will cost $153,000 in cost-shared funding.

The funding is part of a $524,100 investment by the Government of Canada and a $262,030 investment by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador for the replacement of residential oil furnaces in 254 housing units across the province which will result in an annual reduction of 421 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions.

This will be one of 13 climate change projects in the province that was recently announced under the Climate Change Challenge Fund.
