The Ontario government is investing almost $2 million to revitalize aging infrastructure in Tecumseh.
Windsor-Tecumseh MPP Andrew Dowie announced the province is providing $1,968,740 to renew and rehabilitate critical infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, water, and wastewater systems.
"Our government's investment in Tecumseh's infrastructure is a commitment to the long-term well-being of our community," said Dowie in a release announcing the funding delivered through the 2026 Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund. "This nearly $2-million in OCIF funding will help improve vital infrastructure, ensuring it remains safe, reliable, and ready to support growth."
The Ontario Government's OCIF stream is part of the province's $200-billion capital plan to protect the province by building key infrastructure, strengthening the economy, and keeping workers employed in the face of American tariffs and economic instability.
This year, Ontario will allocate $400-million in OCIF funding to help 423 small, rural, and remote communities. The minimum grant amount for municipalities will increase to $125,000 in 2026, up from $100,000. Funding allocations are based on a formula that accounts for local needs and economic conditions. Municipalities can accumulate funding for up to five years to pay for larger infrastructure projects.
