Industrial Park Funding

The township of Emo has received additional funding for its new industrial park.

The province provided $69-thousand, on top of previous funding of $121-thousand, to cover the cost of bringing sewer, water and electrical services to the area.

Reeve Ed Carlson says the park is a vital component to future economic development in the community.

"Without this we have very little land to expand to and attract other industry to the community," says Carlson. "It's quite crucial to the future plans of the community."

Five lots have been developed with the new abattoir occupying one of those sites.
