The Government of Alberta has committed an additional $9.4 million to fund flood mitigation in Bragg Creek.
These latest funds are on top of the $32.8 million already dedicated by the Alberta and Federal governments.
In June and July 2019, Rocky View County obtained approval for project construction from Alberta Environment and Parks and other necessary regulators.
However, when the construction tender closed in October 2019 the lowest bid exceeded the construction budget allocated by the province. The County requested additional funds, which have now been provided.
“This top-up funding will ensure the project is completed and protect the community from flooding and eliminate a recurrence of what has been experienced in the past. Thank you to the province and Minister Nixon for the ongoing support!”
