Plaunt Street South in Renfrew is going to get some much-needed rehabilitation. Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant and MPP John Yakabuski joined Town of Renfrew officials on Thursday, July 9 at an event on Plaunt Street to announce the $1.9 million project, which is being funded through the Canada-Ontario Small Communities Fund. Municipal, provincial and federal governments will each contribute $633,685 towards the project, which will see 500 metres of Plaunt Street, from Hall to Railway avenues, rehabilitated. Infrastructure that will be rehabilitated includes replacement of a century-old watermain, sanitary/storm sewer system, asphalt and sidewalks. Renfrew Mayor Don Eady welcomed everyone to the event and said it was one of the best days he’s had since becoming mayor. “This is a very, very good day for the Town of Renfrew,” said Eady. “We worked very hard at trying to get partnerships together. I think this speaks very highly of our staff and how we put this together.” Sometimes the downtown gets clogged up

and this will be another way through it, he said. “It’s also good for developers in the town,” he said. “It’s showing good progress. When you want things to happen in your town, you show you have good streets.” Eady said he was pleased to see representatives from a number of local businesses and organizations, including the Renfrew Downtown Business Improvement Association, Renfrew Industrial Commission, Renfrew Victoria Hospital, Sunshine Coach, and Renfrew and Area Chamber of Commerce. “I want to congratulate the Town of Renfrew for making the application that was successful. This is a very, very good project,” said Yakabuski. “I’m looking forward not only to the beginning of work next year but also when the job is completed having a nice smooth ride down Plaunt Street and knowing those pipes in the ground aren’t 100 years old anymore.” Partnerships are vital when it comes to municipal infrastructure, he said. “Providing new infrastructure to our communities is essential and the reality is that municipalities on their own – projects of this magnitude – they just can’t do them on their own,” he said.
