emailRegional Economic Development Strategy
Following municipal review of The Economic Development Opportunities Blueprint the CRD Board, on March 8, 2006, resolved not to participate with the GVEPS in the development of a new regional economic development agency. The Board further resolved to shift attention from a regional economic strategy, to the development of a regional economic sustainability policy, for inclusion in the Regional Growth Strategy. The policy would focus on local governments roles and responsibilities in providing public infrastructure and amenities, enhancing public services and delivering a fair and effective development and business regulatory framework. Work on the regional economic sustainability policy will proceed as part of the Regional Growth Strategy interim update, currently scheduled to get underway in the Fall 2006.
