Local Investment Funds (FLI-FLS) – Application Process and Eligibility Expanded
The Local Investment Funds (FLI-FLS) program page has been significantly enhanced with a complete French-language section that was previously absent or incomplete. The new French content adds a full application process including contact email (ngagnon@developpementvs.com), phone number (450 424-2262), and a downloadable application form. Eligibility criteria have been refined to include businesses aligned with DEV and MRC strategic priorities rather than the previously listed specific sectors. The analysis framework now explicitly includes economic viability as a key criterion alongside promoter experience, economic spinoffs, and capital leverage requirements.
