Business Retention and Expansion (BR+E)
The BR+E project is a volunteer-driven, community based economic development tool designed to enhance local businesses and economic prosperity.
It is community based as it involves stakeholders from all sectors within the community, including government, business, non profit agencies and citizens, many of whom volunteer their time to contribute to the project.
The program works to improve the competitiveness of local businesses by addressing their concerns and needs through a confidential interview process. Read more about the BR+E project on the Rural Oxford Economic Development website.
Southwestern Ontario Development Fund
