The province has announced an additional $500 million to help restart Manitoba’s economy.
The money is part of the Manitoba Restart Program, an addition to the $3 billion over the next 2 years towards infrastructure investments.
The Manitoba Restart Program will include new:
- Water and sewage projects through the Municipal Water Services Board
- Road and highway resurfacing and repairs
- Bridge repairs
- Municipal infrastructure priorities
- Potential new cost-sharing construction projects with other levels of government if agreements can be reached
This investment is one of many measures undertaken by the province through the Manitoba Protection Program.
