The Township of Puslinch, Ont., has received funding through the Government of Ontario’s Main Street Revitalization Initiative for the renewal of township signage.
The town received $44,135.34 over two years, beginning in 2018, to install and fabricate signage in its main street area as identified in the Township’s Community Improvement Plan.
The funding is made available by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs for all single and lower‐tier municipalities to implement local community improvement plans and invest in municipal infrastructure to improve their downtown and main street areas. Funding is upfront, allocation‐based, and projects are selected by municipal councils.
“Vibrant main streets across the province help attract visitors, create jobs, and increase the competitiveness of small businesses,” said Ernie Hardeman, minister of agriculture, food, and rural affairs. “This initiative helps communities enhance and revitalize main streets and demonstrates Ontario is open for business.”
“The township is appreciative of the funding it has received,” said Mayor James Seeley. “Puslinch council’s desire is to return our hamlets to destination locations. This program supports our vision and allows small businesses to thrive and bring exceptional value to the community.”
