Federal funding secured for growth of Canada’s Oshawa Port

The Canadian federal authorities will contribute roughly CA$14 million (US$10.89 million) in funding to help the deliberate growth of the Port of Oshawa in Ontario.

The federal contribution, to be drawn from the Nationwide Commerce Corridors Fund, might be added to a CA$16 million (US$12.44 million) funding from the Hamilton-Oshawa Port Authority (HOPA) for the CA$30 million (US$23.33 million) undertaking to increase the marine infrastructure in Oshawa to accommodate two berthed vessels, enhance loading and unloading instances, develop storage capability with the addition of a brand new grain silo, improve roads, and enhance stormwater administration.

The Port of Oshawa Export Enlargement Plan will tackle infrastructure deficiencies on the port’s East Wharf to extend Canadian exports and enhance the effectivity of the port and the efficiency of the transportation system within the port’s catchment. Specifically, the deliberate enhancements will help grain farmers in Central Ontario by providing a extra sensible transport answer than trucking their grains throughout the Better Toronto Hamilton Space.
