Perth-Wellington MPP Matthew Rae has revealed almost $90,000 in funding for projects in Perth County.
This financial support, according to a press release from Rae’s office, comes from the provincial government’s Rural Ontario Development fund. 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 to improve equipment and accessibility.
Moreover, Perth County is set to gain over $70,000 for tourism wayfinding signage, while the Perth Farmhouse will get $10,000 aimed at winery diversification to promote year-round tourism.
The next application period for the Rural Ontario Development fund opens on August 17. You can find out more 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.”
