Urban Planning

Our team, consisting of asset engineers, financial analysts, and community strategists, developed a comprehensive Economic Development Strategy and Action Plan to leverage assets and enhance the position as a destination for businesses and a skilled workforce. The strategy positioned to support initiatives that diversify the local and regional economy, leverage partnerships to support economic development capacities and ensure a competitive, thriving, diversified, and collaborative place to build regional economic opportunities.

The strategy identified strengths, weaknesses, and sector-specific opportunities or threats to enhance competitiveness and effectively grow the local and regional economy. The action plan provided the Council with the opportunity to set the direction for economic growth and align economic development activities with the newly updated Municipal Development Plan and the Council’s Strategic Plan. Stakeholder engagement was also conducted to ensure that identified interested parties have a voice in shaping the vision for the future prosperity.
