Atikokan is getting money, but we can't tell you if others in the Rainy River district have benefit from today's roll-out of infrastructure money.

Atikokan will receive more than two-million dollars in provincial and federal dollars for repairs to its Main Street and its municipal office.

The township must still contribute a million dollars toward the projects.

Meantime, a government spokesperson with federal Infrastructure Minister John Baird says announcements pertaining to our area would be made through the local MP and MPP offices.

However John Rafferty's office says its still trying to learn find more details themselves.
