Doug Ford paid a visit to the sewage treatment facility in Walden on Monday to announce nearly $35 million in water infrastructure funds that will allow for more houses to go up in the city. 

“Friends, here in Greater Sudbury, and across the province, we need to build more homes,” said the premier, against the backdrop of two bright-orange vehicles with green hoses coiled on their roofs. “We know that enabling infrastructure like roads and bridges, and maintaining and expanding wastewater facilities like this one, is critical to getting those homes built faster.”

Ford noted his government last year introduced a $1.2-billion Building Faster Fund to “reward municipalities for meeting their housing targets.” And in April, the City of Greater Sudbury received a $1.5-million share of that kitty to put toward projects that support housing development.

An additional $1.2 billion was announced in the latest provincial budget “to help local governments repair, rehabilitate and expand local water infrastructure systems,” the premier said.
