The provincial Minister of Economic Development and Growth will be in Chatham-Kent and Windsor-Essex on Thursday to make a series of funding announcements.
Steven Del Duca's staff say he will be at Dana Canada in Chatham at 3pm for a significant funding announcement and then he'll sit down for a Chatham roundtable discussion.
"The province is providing funding for ten regional companies," a staff email to Blackburn News says.
The minister will start the day in downtown Windsor at Ouellette Ave. and Park St. E. for a street revitalization announcement at 9am. Del Duca will then tour Laval International in Maidstone, attend a Windsor-Essex Chamber of Commerce roundtable, and a town hall with University of Windsor students.
The Southwestern Ontario Development Fund gives money to businesses, municipalities and not-for-profit organizations for economic development in southwestern Ontario. The fund supports projects that create jobs, encourage innovation, collaboration and cluster development and attract private sector investment.
