Municipalities, like businesses, are faced with many challenges in the new millennium: competing in the global economy; accommodating changing demographics; and implementing a fundamental shift in the provincial-municipal relationship. Many are seeking ways to capitalize on their advantages, maintain their quality of life, and strengthen their communities in a rapidly changing environment.
This booklet is designed for small and medium-sized municipalities. It provides useful information on industrial development trends in southern Ontario, ways to attract development to your municipality, and a self-assessment questionnaire for municipalities to determine their economic readiness.
Municipal Economic Readiness is designed to assist small and medium-sized southern Ontario municipalities to:
- identify the changing needs of business
- assess individual planning and development systems
- identify opportunities for improvement and for attracting new development
