Mayor Brian Bigger and federal and provincial politicians will be on hand this Friday to give media an update on the how the Maley Drive Extension project is progressing.
On hand will be Sudbury MP Paul Lefebvre, Nickel Belt MP Marc Serré, Energy Minsiter and Sudbury MPP Glenn Thibeault.
The project has been the city's top infrastructure priority for decades. In the short term, Maley is forecast to create 780 jobs during the construction phase, which is expected to begin this spring and last until 2019.
After years of trying – and failing – to get the province and federal government to provide their one-third share of the costs, the province agreed in 2014 to provide $26.7 million for Maley, and the federal government is expected to follow suit after council confirmed its support.
