Investments from the federal Green Municipal Fund will benefit four New Brunswick communities to make them more energy efficient.
The $2.2 million investment was announced today by Moncton Riverview Dieppe MP Ginette-Petitpas-Taylor.
The four projects announced today include: a feasibility study on optimal energy efficiency measures for the Arthur-J.-LeBlanc Centre in Dieppe; a feasibility study for solar panels on the roof of the Jean-Daigle Centre and installing an energy storage system in Edmundston; energy efficiency upgrades to Woodstock’s AYR Motor Community Centre; and a complete street project in Fredericton where infrastructure is improved for pedestrians, cyclists, and transit on Brookside Drive.
Dieppe Mayor Yvon Lapierre says, “The City of Dieppe is very pleased to partner with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities to evaluate the feasibility of optimal energy efficiency measures for the Arthur-J.-LeBlanc Centre. Sustainable development is among our top priorities, and a project like this one will allow us to take yet another step towards becoming an eco-responsible city and reduce our greenhouse gas emissions.“
