Our approach towards economic development allows and encourages local people to work together to achieve sustainable economic growth and development thereby bringing economic benefits and improved quality of life for all residents in the local municipal area.

Economic development is about more than creating jobs and increasing commercial and industrial tax revenue. When implemented correctly, economic development improves the economic well-being and quality of life for a community through efforts that include:

• retaining businesses and providing resources to help them expand;
• securing new investment;
• preparing residents for new careers connecting them to businesses in need of skilled workers;
• developing economic resilience;
• facilitating relationships among stakeholders.
