The Ontario government is investing up to $3,225,355 to expand water infrastructure in north Oshawa, according to Todd McCarthy, MPP for Durham and Acting Minister of Infrastructure.
The funding will be used in north Oshawa as part of the Conlin Road East Phase 2 Culvert and Stormwater Infrastructure project for housing access.
The funding comes from the province’s Municipal Housing Infrastructure Program’s Health and Safety Water Stream (MHIP-HSWS).
“This is welcome news for Oshawa. As our community continues to grow, this nveistment in stormwater infrastructure is essential to advancing the major reconstruction of Conlin Road East from Ritson to Townline, supporting our neighbourhoods and residential housing in the area,” said Oshawa Mayor Dan Carter.
“As we continue to navigate economic uncertainty and unwarranted U.S. tariffs, our government is protecting Ontario by investing in critical infrastructure that drives growth, creates jobs and strengthens communities,” said McCarthy.
