This $1.5 million contribution will not only strengthen essential infrastructure but also position our community for growth, ensuring families have access to reliable services as we continue to build for the future.”
The HEWSF program is designed to help municipalities deliver critical housing-enabling infrastructure that supports both immediate needs and long-term growth.
