Helping track your stimulus dollar online
Wednesday November 25 2009
 
A new website will allow Ontario residents and businesses to track the progress of recently announced infrastructure stimulus projects in their community and across the province.

Ontario's two-year, $32.5-billon investment will create and support an estimated 146,000 jobs in 2009-10 and 168,000 jobs in 2010-11 across Ontario.

The new infrastructure website offers greater transparency and accountability to Ontario residents regarding federal-provincial infrastructure stimulus funding by highlighting the provincial contribution towards projects, tracking construction progress and providing regular updates on new investments.

"Ontarians now have a tool to help them locate stimulus infrastructure projects across the province and in their neighbourhoods," said Gerry Phillips, Minister of Energy and Infrastructure.

Key features include:

- Maps of the province showing projects by community,

- Project search tools, including a postal code search,

- A "by the numbers" section that provides details on the government's infrastructure investments by program, and

- A 'feature projects' section highlighting projects across the province.

The Governments of Canada and Ontario have been investing close to $11 billion in joint funding for more than 2,600 infrastructure projects across the province since February to stimulate the economy and create jobs.
