ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY

Ponoka hosts three workshops seeking input on Economic Development Strategy

Sep 12, 2019 | 5:44 AM

PONOKA- The Town has begun work on an Economic Development Strategy that will set out a clear action plan to promote increased economic growth in Ponoka.

The strategy will identify priorities and opportunities for Ponoka to diversify its current economy, strengthen partnerships in and around the community, and provide an environment where businesses can thrive and experience new growth.

An important part of this project is community input.

The Town is hosting a series of workshops to invite input.

Two of the workshops will be targeted to members of the business community and a third one will invite input from the public at large.
