Manitoba Government Funding New Waste Disposal Site in Ste. Rose
The Manitoba government is investing $475,000 through the Municipal Economic Development Infrastructure Program toward the construction of a new waste disposal site in the Municipality of Ste. Rose, Municipal and Northern Relations Minister Ian Bushie announced today.
“This new piece of critical infrastructure will expand waste management operations for the area and benefit the whole community of residents and businesses,” said Bushie. “We’re proud to invest and support long-term economic growth for the Ste. Rose area.”
The Manitoba government’s investment into the new site aligns with municipal plans and supports effective waste management to support environmental sustainability and future economic growth. Additional benefits future road construction to improve access to the main highway, and a regional recreation centre to serve the local community and two neighbouring municipalities, the minister noted.
The project is currently in early development with design and tender details still to be determined. Construction is expected to be completed by 2027.
“We’re excited to see this important project move forward to provide a new modern site for solid waste management disposal for the Municipality of Ste. Rose,” said Mayor Robert Brunel, Municipality of Ste. Rose. “We’re currently working with an engineering firm to design and engineer an appropriate site and look forward to the next steps in this project.”
The Municipal Economic Development Infrastructure Program is an application-based program designed to foster economic growth and opportunities for Manitoba municipalities through shared priority projects that address current and emerging infrastructure needs. The program supports immediate advancement and implementation of critical infrastructure projects under the key investment themes of economic development, renewal and innovation.
