Bowlby’s gets government money

Family-owned Bowlby Quality Meats Ltd. in Greenwood will receive a loan for $150,000 through the Department of Economic Development's Industrial Expansion Fund to assist with working capital.

"We value the contribution that Bowlby Quality Meats makes to the agriculture sector and, in particular, to the livestock industry in Nova Scotia," says Agriculture Minister Brooke Taylor.
