Investing in Ontario Act
In May 2008, the Ontario Government passed the Investing in Ontario Act. The Act allows the government to use a portion of any unanticipated year-end surplus to address priority public needs as well as reduce the province's accumulated deficit.
In 2008, the provincial government provided Ontario municipalities additional funding to support infrastructure investments under the Investing in Ontario Act. The County of Grey received $2,120,225 in funding to be used for capital purposes. Each municipality has the flexibility and discretion to spend its allocation on its own capital priorities.
The County of Grey has used this funding to support the following capital projects:
2008
- County Roads - Spot Improvements - $70,149
