The Ontario East Economic Development Commissions does not provide direct funding. However several of our partner Ministries and Agencies provide support to assist with business investment, growth and expansion in eastern Ontario. A number of tax credits are available to businesses in Ontario to help lower costs, hire and train workers, compete in the marketplace and support various sectors. Other incentives may also be available directly from Ontario East’s member communities.
