Scott Reid & Reeve Hogg Announce New Wagers Bridge Project
May 19, 2009Flinton – Addington Highlands Reeve Henry Hogg joined local MP Scott Reid today at the Township Hall in Flinton to announce that the federal government has agreed to commit over $300,000 to replace Wagers Bridge, close to Flinton.
“This bridge replacement represents a much-needed improvement to the area,” said Reid. “The improvement will ensure continued safety and usability far into the future.”
The funds to support the replacement of Wagers Bridge are part of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Economic Action Plan to provide immediate stimulus to kick-start the Canadian economy.
The Economic Action Plan was introduced earlier this year in the 2009 federal budget. It is a $12 billion investment that is expected to create thousands of jobs in construction nationwide while revitalizing Canada’s roads, bridges, and highways.
Reid stated, “I am pleased to see this project move forward and see Flinton benefit from the government’s economic stimulus plan.”
Building improved infrastructure in places like Flinton will stimulate the economy of today and provide real value to everyone for years to come.
