$33M Local Flood Prevention Investment
August 31, 2022
I ran on two promises in 2019:
1) Bring jobs to Windsor-Essex
2) Bring funding to fight flooding
In spring, we announced $8.7B to create 5000 auto jobs. Today, I announced the largest federal investment in our fight against flooding—$33M for Windsor.
Last year we announced $10.7M for flood mitigation in Tecumseh.
That brings the total federal funding to $90M for our region of Windsor-Essex to make our communities more resilient to flooding and the ravages of climate change.
