Four applications for funding under a government infrastructure program will be made by the town of Fort Frances.

At last night's council meeting, council agreed to submit requests for three roads projects and the new  library. C-A-O Mark McCaig says its priorities had to be reworked, though.

"We had indicated that the first priority would be the 5th Street project," says McCaig, "As we were going through the process, we were beginning to see it didn't have a great chance of success." 

Instead, council will seek funding for the sewer and water components of the proposed work on Scott Street and the Biomass Roads Project, as well as work on Front Street.
