Northern Development creates program to help businesses during Covid-19

Northern Development announced today that it is offering a new Regional Business Liaison (RBL) program.

This program encourages Community Futures Development Corporations, Chambers of Commerce, local governments, community economic development entities, or regional destination marketing organizations to hire locally-based talent to provide business support services.

Funding will be made available to support up to three regional business liaison positions per Northern Development region (Northeast, Northwest, Prince George, and Cariboo-Chilcotin/Lillooet), for a total of up to 12 positions for a one-year term.

Northern Development will fund 100 percent of eligible expenses up to $75,000.

This funding is a one-time offering to provide additional community resources to support small and medium-sized enterprises during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Northern Development will approve RBL funding applications within one week of receiving a completed application.
