Nova Scotia Liberals Pledge $100M for Cell Towers and Highway Upgrades

Liberal Leader Zach Churchill outlines plans to enhance cellphone coverage and improve road infrastructure if elected.

Liberal Party plans to spend $60 million on 87 new cellphone towers over four years to improve coverage, especially along major highways.
The proposed investment is in addition to the $66 million already committed by the Progressive Conservative government for similar projects.
Approximately 20,000 civic addresses and over 1,000 kilometers of primary roads in Nova Scotia currently lack cellphone service.
The Liberals also propose a $40 million increase to the province's $500 million capital budget for highway improvements.
A televised debate among party leaders, including Churchill, is scheduled for tonight, focusing on key election issues.
