CentrePort Canada, Manitoba’s growing inland port, has received a $450,000 injection from the provincial government.
It’s a $200,000 increase from the operating grant CentrePort drew last year. In a news release on Thursday, Transportation Minister Lisa Naylor pointed to the port’s role in job creation and attracting new investment to Manitoba.
CentrePort sprawls across two municipalities — Rosser and Winnipeg — and has more than 2,300 acres in active development.
Private businesses have spent more than $1 billion at CentrePort and “there is more to come,” Carly Edmundson, the organization’s president, said in a news release.
The provincial government will lead a functional design study of the provincial roadway system to identify future updates and long-term road networks in the Inland Port Special Planning Area. Work on the study should finish next fall, Naylor said.
