Sask Gov invests $250k towards local municipalities in preparation of BHP potash mine
Earlier on Tuesday, the Government of Saskatchewan announced another investment of $250,000, in regards to the BHP Jansen Project.
These particular funds will go directly to the Sylvite Four-Six Regional Development Incorporation (S4-6).
The funding will be provided in 2024-25 to ‘help position the region for the exciting growth from the potash project by supporting outcomes in the areas of housing, child care, labour, training and education, inclusive relationships, emergency services, infrastructure and economic development.’
“These are good challenges to have, given that there are 1000s of jobs being created in the region, but they are still challenges, and that’s why we need to work together, so having a very close integration between the different levels of government really does make a difference,” explained Trade and Export Development Minister Jeremy Harrison.
