Digital business help program launched

The United Counties of Prescott-Russell (UCPR) launched the Prescott and Russell E-Business Grant Program (PREB) to assist small-and medium-sized businesses (SME) in the region. The new grant program is created through a partnership between the UCPR and the municipalities of The Nation and Casselman, the townships of Alfred-Plantagenet and Russell, the City of Clarence-Rockland, the Town of Hawkesbury, the Prescott-Russell Employment Services Centre (CSEPR), the Hawkesbury Industrial Investment Association, Caisse Desjardins Ontario, the Eastern Ontario Training Board, and the Prescott-Russell Community Development Corporation. Credit also goes to the Rural Oxford Economic Development Corporation for advice on setting up the program.
