Workshop Delivers The Goods On Business Incentives
February 5, 2015Cornwall Ontario – In today’s competitive economic climate, its nice to know that there is help if you need it.
Business owners in Cornwall and the surrounding region can learn exactly what financial assistance may be available to them to help grow their business. Entitled “How to Navigate Your Way through $1.3 Billion of Government Incentives,” the two-hour workshop is scheduled for Wednesday February 18 at the Ramada Hotel in Cornwall.
All levels of government are actively involved in the business community. Each year they collectively award over a billion dollars to small, medium and large enterprises in the hopes of stimulating local economies, fostering economic development and creating employment.
