New Regional Economic Development Portal Launched
Posted on: Oct 27 2011 - 3:22pm in City Hall
The website provides detailed information on over 15 billion dollars of planned projects and investment opportunities in northwest BC to help market the region around the world to investors.
The Invest in Northwest BC web portal, the first of its kind for economic development websites, is the only portal in British Columbia that communities have worked together to create.
"This interactive website will provide vital information for perspective investors and adds a significant new economic development tool to help TEDA promote our region," said Mayor Dave Pernarowski. "What particularly excites me is the collaborative approach TEDA has taken to develop this website. Now more than ever it is important to work together to put Northwest British Columbia on the international map."
"Investnorthwestbc.ca has attracted more than just the attention of the economic development agencies in Northwest BC," said TEDA Chair Rob Dykman. "We are excited to have partnered with Northern Development Initiative Trust and every community within northwest BC to undertake this important project for the region. It is partnerships like this that are integral to moving the region forward to an era of long-term economic prosperity."
