More items to place on the list of Charlottetown projects:

The provincial government just released their capital expenses projections for the next five years (totalling over $500M) with increased spending to serve as a stimulus during these hard economic times.

Amongst the big ticket items:

- Expansion and upgrades to the QE2 Hospital, cost $53 million
- Replacement of the Prince Edward Home (nursing home, the former Prince Edward Hospital on Brighton Road), cost $22 million
- An expansion of Ecole Francois Buote (the city's francophone school)
- a new "BioCommons Research Park", to be located adjacent to UPEI, cost $15 million.
- Upgrades to the Sleepy Hollow Jail (yes, that is indeed the name of the main provincial correctional facility).

I guess I'll have to update my previous post on developments in greater Charlottetown as it seems to becoming a pseudo compilation thread.
