A new outdoor pool and a state-of-the-art track and soccer field for Queens County got a lot closer to reality on Friday as Queens MLA Kim Masland announced more than $2.7 million in funding for the region.
Masland, who is also the province’s Public Works Minister, announced that the province will give $2.2 million toward the $8-million community pool to be located next to Queens Place Emera Centre.
She also announced an extra $500,000 for a new all-weather artificial turf soccer field and rubberized track at Liverpool Regional High School. Masland announced $700,000 last fall for the facility. That was before the design was changed to make it all-weather.
Masland made the funding announcements on behalf of Allan MacMaster, Minister of Communities, Culture, Tourism and Heritage.
Masland also announced $47,030 for the Liverpool Curling Club to upgrade its kitchen facilities.
