The Town of Gananoque is reminding businesses, municipalities, and not-for-profit organizations that the application deadline for the Eastern Ontario Development Fund is May 21, 2025. This provincial program supports projects aimed at driving economic growth, innovation, and job creation across eastern Ontario.
The fund offers financial assistance and complementary services to help eligible businesses grow, improve productivity, develop workforce skills, explore new markets, and generate broad regional economic benefits. Community economic development projects are also eligible.
To qualify, businesses must have at least three years of operations, employ a minimum of 10 people (or five in rural areas), and commit to creating new jobs and investing at least $500,000 ($200,000 in rural areas).
This is a valuable opportunity for local businesses to access support for expansion and innovation. Interested applicants are encouraged to visit the Town’s website for full eligibility details and to submit their application before the May 21 deadline.
