The City of Prince George will receive the money as part of the $1 billion B.C. Growing Communities Fund.
The City of Prince George will receive nearly $12.5 million in provincial grant money to support infrastructure projects.
"I know that our local governments are working hard to keep up with the growing demands of their communities. Through cross-government co-operation, we can address the unique needs in each community to ensure they can thrive into the future," Municipal Affairs Minister Anne Kang said. "These grants will support projects that each community needs the most, like new affordable housing and child care facilities, road improvements or recreation centres.
“We are pleased to see the province supporting local governments with additional resources to invest in infrastructure,” Regional District of Fraser-Fort George chairperson Lara Beckett said in an email in February. “We look forward to learning more and understanding what the process is to access the funds and how much the RDFFG may be eligible to receive.”
