The City of Fredericton is taking action to protect its infrastructure from the growing impacts of climate change after an investment of more than $7.9 million from the federal government.
The funding announced today by David Myles, Member of Parliament for Fredericton-Oromocto, and Her Worship Kate Rogers, Mayor of the City of Fredericton, will support a series of projects that will make the city's core infrastructure more resilient to natural hazards intensified by climate change.
Fredericton will undertake a number of projects to protect their critical infrastructure that include: upgrading culverts and underground water systems, shoreline naturalization, and placing powerlines underground to reduce damage that can cause power outages during severe weather events.
Together, these projects will help ensure a safer, more resilient Fredericton for all residents by protecting their homes, businesses, and essential services.
