The plan outlines six strategic goals for our community:
1. Foster Business Retention & Expansion
2. Participate in Development of a Regional Economy
3. Grow a Culture of Entrepreneurship
4. Marketing & Promotion
5. Enhance Investment Readiness
6. Develop Sector Specific Strategies
Along with the Town’s local plan, Gillian has also been working in partnership with RM of Maple Creek, Nekaneet First Nations & local business owners in developing an action plan for the community. This plan is in the process of receiving final approval from all partners and work has begun in some areas of the action plan.
During Economic Development Week, social media channels will highlight the role of economic development in our community.
