Agriculture Roundup for Thursday May 7, 2020
A $7.5 billion infrastructure recovery program announced by the provincial government is being welcomed by the rural groups.
Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM) president Ray Orb said the stimulus package will benefit the entire provincial economy.
He said rural municipalities are suffering economically from the impact of COVID-19 and the $300 million dedicated to thin membrane surface roads and other improvements will benefit rural communities.
The provincial program includes a new $150 million Municipal Economic Enhancement Program to support infrastructure in communities across the province.
