In 2019, with the support of Sturgeon County’s Economic Development Board (EDAB), Economic Innovation and Growth formalized a Council Business Visitation Program. Touring our local business community allows Council to connect with business owners to build relationships and learn about challenges and opportunities they face.
An engaged Council brings tangible benefits to both existing and potential businesses in the community. By actively participating, Council facilitates open communication and collaboration, allowing businesses to effectively voice their concerns and ideas. To date, these visits have been very positive and allow for an opportunity to celebrate successes.
This proactive Council approach showcases a dedication to economic growth, instilling confidence in potential businesses considering investment in the area. Such a responsive stance not only improves the business environment but also nurtures a thriving ecosystem that attracts and sustains enterprises, contributing to lasting success for the local economy.
