Ottawa, Jan. 14, 2009—The Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) today released a list of more than 1,000 infrastructure projects that would be ready to go as early as this spring if federal funding is made available.
The list of shovel-ready projects was derived from a survey of FCM members conducted over the last six weeks and includes simple rehabilitation to major new construction. If fully funded, these infrastructure projects would create over 150,000 jobs.
