Pettapiece encourages local businesses to access relief grant

PERTH-WELLINGTON - Local MPP Randy Pettapiece is  encouraging struggling local businesses to access the province’s new Small Business Support Grant.

“Small businesses are critical to every community in Perth-Wellington,” Pettapiece stated in a Jan. 18 press release. “Our government is absolutely determined to keep them afloat in this incredibly challenging time.”

Applications for the Ontario Small Business Support Grant are now open for businesses affected by the province-wide shutdown. Businesses with fewer than 100 employees may be eligible for the one-time grant of $10,000 to $20,000.
