At the Monday, March 17 meeting, Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry (SDG) Counties council awarded a contract to Cornwall Gravel Company Limited for hot mix paving and other related work on county roads in 2025.

The contract is valued at $7,556,930 plus HST, with SDG Counties contributing $6,771,040 and South Glengarry covering the remaining $785,890. The work includes hot mix paving at various thicknesses, cold milling, catch basin adjustments, as well as concrete curb and shouldering work throughout the counties.
