Health, housing and infrastructure will remain priorities for Prince Edward County in 2024.
“So we’re excited to finally see, or hope to see shovels in the ground for this project in the fall of 2024. And, you know residents of the community and businesses in the municipality itself have been huge supporters of that project from day one and we can’t wait to see the work begin.”
“We’re very much conscious and working to ensure that that growth is well managed in order to ensure that we can protect the unique character of Prince Edward County while continuing to provide the services such as affordable water and wastewater that people need.”
Ferguson says County Road 49 will continue to be a work in progress in 2024.
A working group has been formed to determine how the municipality will cover its share of the cost to repair the crumbling road – approximately $31 million.
Ferguson says they will continue to press the provincial and federal governments to make sure they provide their share .
About 6,000 vehicles a day travel along County Road 49 which is the main eastern gateway to the County.
