In March, the City of Châteauguay made a borrowing arrangement for $35 million for the construction and realignment of Industrial and Saint-Francis boulevards.

The work will not only realign the intersection at the entrance to the city of Châteauguay, but will also improve stormwater management in the area. It is not uncommon for a full-blown lake to form here during heavy rainfalls. “It won't solve everything since there is a section that isn't the responsibility of the City of Châteauguay, but we plan to fix our section,” Mayor Eric Allard announced to the city council meeting in February.
The Quebec government confirmed a $4 million subsidy for this project earlier this year. The city is planning long-term investments of $800 million in this area, where it intends to develop a densified area of dwellings and local shops.
