Amherstburg gets the largest Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund grant at $2-million. It will be used to reconstruct a section of Texas Rd.
Kingsville is getting just over $1-million for flooding work, according to Mayor Nelson Santos. "It's good news all around for the town of Kingsville and certainly the residents in that area that have experienced flooding over the last few years," he says. Work near Wigle Ave. should begin this summer.
