The Parry Sound and Area Municipal Airport is getting a $5-million boost from the province.
Parry Sound-Muskoka MPP Norm Miller says the money will help expand the runway and increase the number of business park lots.
The extension aims to increase airport capacity and accommodate larger aircraft, enabling more passenger and cargo transportation.Â
Miller says this project will exponentially expand the economic development potential of the airport and the industrial park.
The funding is coming through the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation and is expected to simplify access to essential services for more than 30 communities and First Nations in the area.
