As part of the Support the Bruce: Business Sustainability Fund, Bruce County's Spruce the Bruce program now has a total of $250,000 available as grants for local businesses in 2020.
These available grants come from the $1.75 million dollar investment that was endorsed May 12th by county council.
"As we prepare to reopen, many local businesses are looking at adaptations that promote social distancing. Installation of takeout windows or expanding patio space are just a couple of the ways the enhanced Spruce the Bruce grants could help Bruce County's downtown businesses," stated Bruce County Warden Mitch Twolan.
The matching requirements for businesses receiving Spruce the Bruce grants have been removed for 2020 and the grants now cover 100% of the cost of the project, up to a maximum of $4,000 per business.
Grants will be given on a first come, first serve basis.
