Highlights:
- The financial assistance comes from the Municipal Infrastructure Improvement and Construction Program (PRACIM), which is the result of the Quebec Infrastructure Plan (QIP) 2025-2035. It provides for investments of more than $7 billion in the municipal infrastructure sector, under the responsibility of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MAMH).
- The PRACIM aims to support the improvement, addition, replacement and maintenance of municipal buildings.
- The support includes a 5% increase in the base rate for smaller municipalities.
- Last June, the renewal of the PRACIM was announced for the period 2025-2028. As a novelty, it promotes and prioritizes projects for the pooling of buildings or services between municipalities in order to maximize the scope of public investments and improve the quality of services to citizens.
