Economic Development 2021 Goals

Economic Development 2021 Goals

2021 is finally here and with it comes a list of goals for the upcoming year for the Estevan Economic Development Board. While 2020 may not have been the easiest year, it saw a number of active projects come to fruition. In 2021, we will be focusing on further development of these projects and finding more opportunities for economic growth and job creation. Here are a few of our main goals this year:

One of the exciting successes of 2020 was the opening of Southeast Business Startup, Estevan’s business incubator. The goals for 2021 include growing the programs offered and inviting more entrepreneurs to make use of the space and services offered by Southeast Business Startup. We also plan to host more information sessions and learning opportunities in the future as well. 

Work with Doug Griffiths and his team from 13 Ways continues, and they will be returning to Estevan to conduct more interviews and learn more about the opportunities for our city. Once the team from 13 Ways has completed their study, the Estevan Economic Development Board will have a finished tactical workbook that will highlight steps that should be taken to help our city move forward with positive changes. 

Another major focus in 2021 is our ongoing mission of attracting new business and investment into our city. We have been in discussions with businesses and organizations that are interested in our city and we have been working hard to ensure that we can provide them with the support and information needed to successfully conduct business within our city. Stay tuned to our website www.EstevanEconomicDevelopment.ca to find the latest information and announcements as these projects move ahead.
