The municipality will receive more than $150,000 from the B.C. government as part of an investment of almost $40 million from the province.
The provincial funding is to meet local needs including more policing, new equipment, increased community safety initiatives, infrastructure and service delivery projects.
Summerland will receive $22,266 in traffic fine revenue and a Small Community grant of $128,874.
Peachland, Penticton and the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen will also receive grants and traffic fine revenues.
The total for this area is $559,141.
“These grants help make our communities safer and give local governments the funds they need to tackle top-priority issues,” Penticton MLA Dan Ashton said.
“They also ease the burden on taxpayers, which is very important in communities with a small tax base.”
These are the first of two annual payments.
A second annual payment totalling $75 million provincewide will be made in June.
Since 2009, the Small Community, Regional District and Traffic Fine Revenue Sharing Grants have provided more than $718 million in funding to support B.C. communities enabling them to invest money in projects that are identified as priorities at the local level.
