This funding is part of a broader strategy to address critical infrastructure needs in rural and growing communities. The project in Yorkton, specifically the Water Pollution Control Plant Renewal, is expected to support development equivalent to roughly 7,150 additional housing units, helping to accommodate future residential and commercial growth.
