Alberta mayors welcome more money for local housing infrastructure

The Alberta government has introduced a new bilateral program aimed at accelerating residential homebuilding across the province. Announced in July, the initiative provides dedicated funding specifically for the development of essential water and wastewater infrastructure required to support new housing projects.

Local mayors have expressed support for the program, viewing the investment as a necessary step to address infrastructure demands associated with housing growth. By targeting utility capacity, the funding seeks to remove barriers to construction and facilitate the expansion of local housing supplies.
