Gas Tax funds for Mountview area denied

The Cariboo Regional District has recently learned that its second application to the Gas Tax Program submitted in 2011 for the $15 million required to construct the Mountview Water and Sewer System, was not approved. Over 200 applications were submitted during the last intake for a total request of $440 million, however; only $53 million was available for distribution.
Over the past few years, the Cariboo Regional District, on behalf of the residents of the Dog Creek/Mountview area, has made grant applications to senior levels of government for the construction of a community water and sewer system. The first application submitted in 2010 for $15 million was also not approved for funding.
“Unfortunately at this time, no major grant programs are available to receive applications, but we will continue to look for alternative funding opportunities,” stated Electoral Area E Director, Byron Kemp.
As new grant programs become available, the Cariboo Regional District will continue to submit applications to seek funding for the Mountview Water and Sewer system.
