Londoners Receive Over $1 Billion

“The City of London has received strong government support since I was elected to Parliament just eight months ago,” said Member of Parliament Ed Holder.  “When we took a moment to add it all up, the numbers are significant and the impact will be felt by all Londoners.”

Since being elected eight months ago, Ed Holder has personally announced over a quarter-of-a-Billion dollars in government funding for the City of London and London community organizations.  In addition, he has also personally announced government business of about three-quarters-of-a-Billion dollars.

“Having more than one Billion dollars of government money announced for London in just eight months is quite humbling for a rookie MP like me.  When I went to Ottawa, I was determined to make sure we got our fair share and I honestly believe we have done even better than that,” stated Holder.

A convenient 16-page reference guide being made available to London West constituents which details all the announcements personally made by Ed Holder.  Along with detailing the announcements, it also shows that government support has been fairly distributed across the City for a wide range of initiatives.

The booklet does not include details of the recreational funding just announced (see Press Release here) or the many business commitments, including one significant contract with General Dynamics Land Systems to upgrade the LAVIII fleet (see Press Release here).
