Perth-Wellington MPP Matthew Rae has revealed nearly $90,000 in funding for projects in Perth County.
This money is being allocated through the provincial government’s Rural Ontario Development fund, according to a press release from Rae’s office. The program represents “a $20 million investment by the province to strengthen local economies, support rural workers and assist communities in planning for long-term growth.”
In Perth County, Klomp’s Home and Garden will receive just over $8,600 for its Main Greenhouse Roadside Appeal project. Broken Rail Brewing is getting a little more than $300 for equipment upgrades and improving accessibility.
Moreover, Perth County is set to get over $70,000 for its tourism wayfinding signage, while the Perth Farmhouse will obtain $10,000 to diversify its winery offerings for year-round tourism.
The next application period for the Rural Ontario Development fund opens on August 17. You can find more information here: https://www. ontario. ca/page/enabling-opportunity-ontarios-rural-economic-development-strategy
“Strong rural communities are built through partnerships that support local businesses, encourage investment, and create new opportunities,” said MPP Rae. “This provincial funding will help Perth County and its local businesses build on the great work already underway, strengthen the local economy, and enhance the quality of life that makes our communities such great places to live, work, and visit.”
