Huron-Bruce MPP Lisa Thompson has announced that more than $15.5 million in municipal partnership funds has been awarded to local municipalities for the 2020 fiscal year.
She says they have maintained the existing formula, while they review the funding's future sustainability.
She adds this is the earliest the province has announced its Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund which will see approximately $500 million being distributed to 389 municipalities.
"We listened to our municipal partners and respect that they need time to plan their capital and operating budgets, so I am pleased that we are announcing next year’s allocations well ahead of their budget deliberations,” Thompson said.
“We have maintained the existing structure and formula for the OMPF, and we continue to review it to ensure it is sustainable and better focused on northern and rural municipalities,” she added.
