Another $90 thousand is coming to the County of Huron, to assist businesses in going digital.
The funds will benefit the county’s Digital Service Squad (DSS), which will provide trained digital specialists to help local small businesses adopt online technologies and digitally transform their sales, marketing and back-office operations.
The DSS received the same funding in 2020 from the Digital Main Street’s Ontario Grants Program (OGP).
The squad assists with a number of activities, including developing a Google My Business profile, enhancing their social media presence and providing support for basic website and e-commerce set-up.
The Squad will cover the Municipalities of Bluewater, Central Huron, Huron East, Morris-Turnberry and South Huron, as well as the Town of Goderich and the Townships of North Huron, Howick and Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh.
