To reduce the time it takes to move municipal
infrastructure projects to the construction stage, the Department of
Municipal Affairs has granted approval to 22 municipalities and two
local service districts to proceed with engineering design work.
Projects have been selected for engineering design work in anticipation
that they will receive funding approval.
"The engineering design initiative will provide
municipalities the opportunity to begin preparatory work on
infrastructure projects, and gather important information on cost and
design," said the Honourable Dianne Whalen, Minister of Municipal
Affairs. "This effort will provide the municipality and department with
a more accurate evaluation and a clearer picture related to final costs,
and is an effort to simplify the approval process. Work will include
project design, preparation of tender documents and submission to the
regulatory agencies for review, and will provide the department and town
with an opportunity to address any design issues prior to projects
receiving final funding approval."
The projects noted below have been selected for and
