The town of Vegreville, Alta., will use nearly $10 million to be obtained through three levels of government to build an 80-acre agri-food industrial park.
A $4.9 million grant fromOttawa, $3.3 million from the Alberta government and $1.65 million from the town will fund the project.
“It’s tied to the closure of the Case Processing Centre in Vegreville,” which occurred in 2017, said Kaleb Brink, the town’s communications co-ordinator.
The federal government’s Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Case Processing Centre was moved to Edmonton, which resulted in loss of about 200 jobs as one of the town’s major employers.
