Economic Development Plan
The Town of Erin's new Economic Development Strategic Plan stems from the collective vision that was developed following an analysis of the Town’s economy and demographics, and several stakeholder engagement sessions, including a strategic planning workshop with Council and the Erin Economic Development Committee, and a Focus Group session.
This strategy will focus on several key areas, beginning with investment attraction, which will involve proactively seeking and encouraging new businesses to establish themselves in Erin. Infrastructure improvements will enhance and expand the infrastructure to support the growing population and business community, ensuring efficient development. Business retention and expansion efforts will support existing businesses in their growth, ensuring they remain integral parts of the community.
Finally, fostering a vibrant community will involve creating a dynamic, inclusive, and engaged environment where residents enjoy a high quality of life and actively participate in the Town’s development. As part of the Town’s commitment to Environmental Stewardship, the Town of Erin will prioritize green initiatives in all economic development efforts, promoting sustainable growth, energy efficiency, and environmental responsibility. This focus aligns with our vision for a greener, more sustainable future for both residents and businesses.
The plan has four main pillars: Investment Attraction, Infrastructure Improvements, Business Retention and Expansion and Vibrant Community.
The Economic Development team is now working on several critical projects to attain goals in these areas, including developing an Employment Lands Inventory, revitalizing downtown spaces, and expanding broadband coverage and visitor amenities.
This plan, developed through an environmentally responsible lens, also focuses on supporting green technologies and initiatives.
An investment attraction marketing campaign will also be developed following a target sector study, with a focus on industries that align with the Town's economic strengths and opportunities.
