Economic Development Taskforce

In November 2016, Council adopted an Economic Development Strategy (2016-2026) and resolved to establish an Economic Development Taskforce (EDT) to help guide implementation.

The Strategy identifies six key focus areas for action: (1) Investment Attraction and Marketing; (2) Business Retention and Expansion; (3) Regional Workforce Development; (4) Industry Development; (5) Strategic Infrastructure; and, (6) Place Making and Activation. An Implementation Plan for the Strategy has also been prepared and provides a framework and a list of practical initiatives under each of the six key focus areas.

The EDT provides leadership and oversight of this program, supported by two working groups to provide for more detailed discussion and facilitation of selected initiatives.
