The Government of Ontario announced today it has established the Ring of Fire Infrastructure Development Corporation, with headquarters located in Thunder Bay, claiming it fulfilled an election promise to do so within 60 days of delivering its Throne Speech.

The province says the corporation will work to bring First Nations and the public and private sectors together to create partnerships and facilitate investment decisions "in strategic transportation infrastructure."

The not-for-profit corporation has an interim board of four Ontario public servants, and will put the necessary structures in place to allow partners to determine their participation in the corporation.

No details for how the development corporation will function were provided and a link to find out more about the development corporation in the news release about it was not working.
