Industry Minister Andrew Parsons says the bulk of the funding will be going into trail systems between the Great Northern Trail Association, the Viking Trail Association and St. Anthony Basin Resources Incorporated.
Last week, Industry Minister Andrew Parsons announced $316,000 to support four projects on the Great Northern Peninsula. Parsons says the Regional Development Program provides support by way of non-repayable contributions to organizations for the development and implementation of economic initiatives with respect to regional and sectoral development, diversification, innovation, and key emerging sectors.
Parsons says the bulk of the funding will be going into trail systems between the Great Northern Trail Association, the Viking Trail Association and St. Anthony Basin Resources Incorporated. The Norstead Village Incorporated in L’Anse aux Meadows will also receive funding under the program. The four key themes of projects intended for funding are infrastructure, capacity building, marketing and research.
