A new project kicks off next week.
The Town of Minto and the Minto Chamber of Commerce Business Retention and Expansion project aims to meet with at least 75 local businesses to help identify needs and concerns as well as ask questions around government and find out what ways the business climate can be improved.
“The visits we are doing with local businesses have four purposes,” said Belinda Wick-Graham, Director of Economic & Community Development with the Town of Minto.
“First, we want to show our local businesses that we really appreciate the contributions they are making to our local community. Second, we want to see if they have any concerns, and, if so, if there are ways we can help. Third, we will be offering to
help our local businesses take better advantage of business resources. Finally, we want the businesses to help us set priorities on future directions of local economic efforts.”
BR+E has been implemented in hundreds of rural and urban communities across the country with this being Minto’s fifth project in 20 years.
