Sudbury City Council is supporting the Northern Centre for Advanced Technology(NORCAT) with an investment of 300 thousand dollars over the next two years.

Funding comes from the Greater Sudbury Development Corporation for salaries and operating costs at the NORCAT underground technology testing centre and mining equipment simulation centre.

More than 35 small businesses have tested new products at the underground centre over the past year.

Council says the investment should create 60 jobs.
