THE Manitoba government will spend about $2.5 million this year helping flood-hit communities recover, Agriculture Minister Ron Kostyshyn said Monday in a release.
Forty-two grants have already been issued in 34 communities. They range from $1,000 to a maximum of $100,000.
Projects include:
— restoring tourist facilities damaged by high water.
— establishing tourism promotion and marketing campaigns to say holiday destinations throughout the province are open for business.
— hiring economic-development officers to establish and co-ordinate plans for residential and tourism redevelopment.
— promoting buy-local campaigns to support local entrepreneurs.
A list of the 42 projects is at www.gov.mb.ca/agriculture.
