A number of area communities including North Bay, Burk’s Falls, Mattawa, Powassan and West Nipissing are eligible to apply for funding under the Connecting Links program.

The money can be used to build, repair or replace local roads and bridges.

Count North Bay Mayor Al McDonald as being interested.

“We will always put in applications for revenue from other senior levels of government. We will work with the Connecting Links Program as we have many Connecting Links in our community,” he says.

McDonald says it’s come in handy before for a $3 million project on Trout Lake Road.

“Through a lot of hard work from Minister Vic Fedeli we were successful in getting that project. You’re going to see that investment happen and that project move forward, ” McDonald says.

The deadline to apply is November 6th.
