Hydro One spending $1.5M in small town of Comber
It is part of an agreement with Lakeshore for hosting a brand new power line through the municipality.
In total, Hydro One is spending $8 million across Lakeshore, with $5.8 million of which going directly to parks, recreation and culture projects.
Hydro One has agreed to fund the following:
- A new park, including a dog park, in the Tracey Park subdivision neighbourhood park
- A new grassed parkette with benches, gazebo, and trees
- Replacement of Comber community signage, including wayfinding
- Sidewalk/trail placement/replacement
- Streetscaping on Main Street, including garbage receptacles, benches, plantings and enhancements to the veterans’ memorial site
- A pollinator garden in partnership with community organizations
- New digital signage to enhance public awareness of community events and programs
- Improvements to the Comber Community Centre
- $5,000 towards the 2024 Comber Fair fireworks display
In August 2023, Lakeshore entered into a community support agreement with Hydro One for these initiatives.
The utilities expansion will support the agri-food sector, economic growth and the region’s clean energy future, according to Lakeshore officials.
