Huron-Bruce is the recipient of more than $1.1 million in provincial grants for local farmers and the agricultural sector.
Huron-Bruce MPP Lisa Thompson made the announcement Tuesday and advised 78 area projects will receive in excess of $850,000 through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership for eligible farmers and other agri-food businesses.
Another $250,000 was announced under the Rural Economic Development Program.
The recipients include include Huron-Kinloss Township ($128,750) for a business incubator project and the County of Huron (two projects totalling $58,263) for business retention and expansion as well as updating the Western Ontario Warden’s Caucus resource website.
Thompson noted the Rural Economic Development Program plays a key role “in helping fund important projects that might not get started without the support.”
