From
Tyler Kula, Sarnia Observer.
A new
federal funding pot could be just what Sarnia-Lambton needs to get a
long-sought oversized load corridor rolling.
“This
project seems like a very good fit,” said Marg Misek-Evans, the City of
Sarnia’s chief administrator, noting the city is almost ready to submit its
expression of interest for a $6 million slice of Ottawa’s $2 billion National
Trade Corridor Fund.
Operated
through Transport Canada, the recently refined fund – alluded to in the federal
budget – covers up to 50 per cent of a project’s cost.
Successful
bidders are expected to be notified later this fall, Misek-Evans said, and
given the chance to submit more detailed proposals.
She’s
optimistic, she said.
“I just
don’t know what our competition is going to be."
Thank you for reading.
