It’s been a $2 million day for the area thanks to federal funding.

Sudbury M-P Paul Lefebvre and Nickel Belt M-P Marc Serre announced $1.5 million in FedNor funding for the Nickel Basin Federal Development Corporation.

It will work with and support local small and medium-sized entrepreneurs to access capital and business counselling services in the Greater Sudbury region for a five-year period.

Earlier today, a $500,000 investment was made to the Sagamok Development Corporation to upgrade and expand the community-owned Ritchie Falls Resort.

This multi-use facility will allow for increased cultural tourism and will create and maintain jobs.
