Granisle and Vanderhoof will receive $10,000 each from the provincial government to help plan for local infrastructure needs.
In Vanderhoof, a town of about 4,000 people 98 kilometres west of Prince George, the money will be used to develop an integrated capital plan to replace the community's strategic servicing plan, which is over 10 years old.
Key undertakings for this project will include inventory of proposed capital investments, analysis and information management and review with council and senior staff.
In Granisle, a retirement community of about 350 people 326 km west of Prince George, the grant will be used to develop a comprehensive energy plan.
"We all want our communities to be looking to and planning for the future," Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad said in a statement issued Thursday. "These investments assist communities to make those plans to better support families in their neighbourhoods."
