    Last week, government announced $560,000 for four projects in the Gros Morne region to help strengthen tourism and sustainable food practices. The Gros Morne Cooperating Association will receive $500,000 to develop the Gros Morne Culinary and Cultural Hub. The Town of Norris Point will get over $46,000 to upgrade the historic Jenniex House and assist the town with the creation of a tourism development plan.

    Bonne Bay Cottage Hospital Heritage Corporation will receive more than $13,000 to develop a feasibility study and business plan for a Good Food Now agrifood project. This will create a sustainable food system between the Bonne Bay Cottage Hospital Heritage Corporation, local farmers and stakeholders. 

    The Town of Woody Point will receive $8,000 to conduct a feasibility assessment on the current docking conditions located on the town’s waterfront.
