Municipal Capital Works

Municipal Capital Works funding is the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador’s commitment to provincial investment through municipal infrastructure throughout the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The Municipal Capital Works (MCW) program fosters the development of cost-shared projects in a wide range of municipal infrastructure. Funding is provincial and municipal cost shared only. Through this program the Provincial Government provides municipalities the opportunity to secure, develop and improve services for their residents and support the long-term sustainability, growth and development of communities throughout the province.

Eligible funding is allocated based on the following ratios:

  • 90/10 for populations less than 3,000 (258 municipalities, 31 per cent of provincial population)
  • 80/20 for populations between 3,000 and 7,000 (16 municipalities, 14 per cent of provincial population)
  • 70/30 for populations greater than 7,000 (9 municipalities, 43 per cent of provincial population)
  • Local Service Districts in the province would also qualify for funding supports on approved projects

Municipal Capital works is application driven, meaning an application must be submitted to the Department of Municipal Affairs by the Municipalities or Local Service Districts (LSD’s) for any given project.
