Resource Road contract for Straits/White Bay North valued at $27,000

Chris Decker, MHA - The Straits and White Bay North, and Beaton Tulk, Minister of Forest Resources and Agrifoods, announced today the award of a $27,000 contract to carry out work required to construct 1.1 kilometres of the Country Road resource road to Class "C-2" resource road standard.

Budgell's Equipment and Rentals Ltd. were awarded the contract for this new construction. The road is needed to provide access for commercial operators. "The roads will also allow access for silviculture work and monitoring of the regeneration of the forest," said Mr. Decker. Mr. Tulk added: "Upkeep of resource roads around the province is vital to our forestry industry." The project is expected to employ six people. Work will commence mid June and will take approximately five weeks.

The project is fully funded by the Department of Forest Resources and Agrifoods.
