He says they have given $45,000 to the North Bay Chamber of Commerce to work with area governments and economic development agencies to promote bringing new industry to the area.

He says the funding will be going towards the Investment Attraction Program.

He says the program will also look at promoting the Nipissing-Timiskaming area through individuals.

Rota also asks anyone in the area that if you hear of people  who are thinking of opening or expanding their business to let them know about it.
