The Ontario Federation of Agriculture says two recent announcements will be a boost for rural parts of the province.
The renewal of the Rural Economic Development program will provide $5 million annually to support community economic development.
The Natural Gas Grant Program has set aside $100 million for the expansion of natural gas infrastructure.
OFA President Keith Currie says the investments are just what the province needs.
He feels rural Ontario has the potential for great economic growth through community engagement and revitalization .
Funding submissions for the RED program are currently being taken at www.omafra.gov.on.ca.
Applications for the Natural Gas Grant Program will be available this spring.
