Red Lake Federal Funding

A major project in Red Lake is getting considerable aid from the Federal Government.

Minister of Finance Jim Flaherty announced today 2.3-million dollars in funding to develop the Nungesser Road Industrial Park.

The money will be used to extend water, sewer, hydro and telephone service to half of the 80-proposed lots.

Officials hope the Park located near the Goldcorp Mine and the Red Lake Airport will help create new economic opportunities.

The Conservatives are also giving the Chukuni Communities Development Corporation 300-thousand dollars to assist small and medium sized businesses.
