Town of Brome Lake to complete sidewalk project with the help of provincial funding
The Town of Brome Lake (TBL) is receiving $100,000 in financial aid through the Municipal Infrastructure Program for Seniors (PRIMA) that will go towards a sidewalk project in Knowlton.
The funding received through PRIMA will be used to add sidewalks starting from the IGA in Knowlton to Victoria Street, from Victoria Street to Centre Lac-Brome, and then from Centre Lac-Brome to Chemin du Centre, explained Cynthia Brunelle, director of Recreation, Tourism, Culture and Community Life.
The goal is to connect these sidewalks to the already existing ones in that area to provide more security to people who want to walk instead of taking their car, added Brunelle.
The TBL decided to submit this project to PRIMA because there are a lot of activities taking place for seniors at Centre Lac-Brome and it will provide them access to essential services by foot, noted Brunelle.
