The provincial budget is getting a favourable reaction from the County of Grande Prairie.
Reeve Leanne Beaupre says the budget recognized the needs of Northern Albertans.
“The infrastructure investments in schools and hospitals, that type of thing, as well as a slight adjustment to the Municipal Sustainability Initiative, which is really important to a lot of municpalities.”
Beaupre was also happy to see money in the transportation portion of the budget for two local projects: the installations of traffic lights at the intersection of Highway 2 and township road 724 in Clairmont, and a complete overlay of Highway 43 west of Bezanson to remove heaves that have turned that portion of road into a very bumpy ride for motorists.
