The Town of Lunenburg has received over half a million dollars in funding under the shovel ready projects program. Town Engineer Marc Belliveau says they filed two applications for funding under the Canada/Nova Scotia Building Canada Fund and received $554,650 to be used for street water and sewer upgrades on Kalbach Street. The total cost of the project which must be completed by March 31st, 2011 is almost $832,000. Council approved funding the remaining one-third cost from this year's budget and if not completed, it will be carried over to the 2010/11 capital budget. Belliveau says the next step is to issue a call for proposals for project engineering services.
