Saskatchewan Government Relations Minister Lori Carr has announced the green light for new projects under their MEEP or Municipal Economic Enhancement Program. Three projects in this area will receive funding under the new announcement. The Northern Village of Denare Beach will receive just under 117 thousand dollars for roof insulation at the Community Hall, the Town of Creighton just over 205 thousand for paving and the City of Flin Flon Boundary Area just over 29 thousand dollars for the South Hudson playground update.
The 150 million dollar MEEP 2020 was announced in May as a key component of the government’s 7.5 billion dollar two year capital plan to build a strong province and stimulate its economic recovery from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The deadline for applications from municipalities has been extended to July 31st and all MEEP 2020 funds must be used by municipalities by March 31st, 2022.
