Money for Infrastructure

Starlee Speers, Standard Radio News http://www.vernon.thesun.net/node/567710
Ottawa is returning almost $2.6 million dollars from the federal gas tax fund to Greater Vernon.
North Okanagan Regional District Chair Jerry Oglow says, the money will go towards a regional growth and transportation strategy and creating new waste facilities. "This is actually for you or I or any resident to take their backyard compost" There will also be a new residential drop off facility at the Greater Vernon Landfill. It's anticipated the composting facility could divert more than 11,000 tonnes of waste a year.
