PRINCE GEORGE — A new slew of programs have been announced to help communities in our region. Northern Development Initiative Trust has launched Trust 2020, what the organization calls a modernized approach to community development.

The new grants are Community Places, Cultural Infrastructure, Economic Infrastructure, Main Street Revitalization Planning, Main Street Revitalization Capital, and Recreation Infrastructure.

Those needs include things like dog parks and playgrounds, public walkways, airports and downtown revitalization are examples of projects that could benefit. For the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George, already some projects on their mind.
