Ontario is helping the Township of Huron-Kinloss grow its local economy by working with businesses and community groups to revitalize the downtown cores of Lucknow and Ripley and create new jobs. The province has presented the township with $30,000 from its Rural Economic Development Program which will help the township, the Lucknow and District Chamber of Commerce and the Ripley Business Community develop strategies to strengthen businesses and create a more vibrant economic climate. This will help attract new businesses and skilled workers to the area. “This investment is helping to create jobs and new business opportunities for our families right here in Huron-Kinloss," said Huron-Bruce MPP Carol Mitchell, agriculture minister. "This project is encouraging growth and stability in our community and will help boost our local economy." “This project will assist the Township of Huron Kinloss in developing the tools necessary to support and grow existing businesses as well as attract new businesses," added Huron-Kinloss mayor Mitch Twolan. "Thanks to the support of the provincial government, along with the Lucknow Chamber of Commerce and Ripley Business Community, the Business Expansion and Retention (BR+E) project will be a positive step forward to change the economic climate.” Building strong local economies is part of the Liberal government’s plan to create jobs and opportunities that will grow the province's economy. Ontario has invested more than $167-million in 412 projects through the Rural Economic Development program and generated more than $1.2-billion in new economic activity. The agri-food industry contributes more than $33-billion to the Ontario economy and employs about 700,000 people.
