The Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency is putting up over $600,000 towards numerous tourism-related developments on the province’s west coast.
The city of Corner Brook will receive the bulk of the upgrades with funding set aside to look at expanding the port in order to keep up with the growing cruise industry. The Stream Development Corporation will use their funds to make trailways more accessible for those with mobility issues.
The rest of the funding will be spread out throughout the Gros Morne region to enhance infrastructure and recreation opportunities.
A six kilometre, all season multi-use trail for the National Park is also in the works.
