Media Release - Busines Retention & Expansion Program

The Town of Carnduff & Rural Municipality of Mount Pleasant No. 2 Economic Development Office in partnership with the Saskatchewan South East Enterprise Region (SSEER) is launching a Business Retention & Expansion (BR&E) Project starting this month. The Town of Carnduff & Rural Municipality of Mount Pleasant No. 2 Economic Development Office is aware that the future sustainability of our community is based upon existing businesses and their success. A BR&E program is designed to identify, communicate with and help meet the needs of local businesses.

The BR&E project involves in-person business meetings with business owners or executives. Their input will help the local economic development organization identify business opportunities, challenges and realities of doing business in the province and immediate area. All individual business information shall be kept in the strictest confidence. Consolidated data collected during the BR&E project will be used to identify/address immediate issues as well as plan future economic development activities.

Specifically, the objectives of the BR&E project are to:

• Identify the needs, concerns, and opportunities of existing businesses in order that, where appropriate, local action can be taken to response to the businesses' needs or development opportunities
• Learn of the future plans of the area's local businesses with respect to expansion, relocation, an retention and review where assistance can be provided
• Access the area's business attitude and develop an effective means of communicating with businesses
• Actively engage local stakeholders in economic development

The current opportunities for growth in southeast Saskatchewan are unprecedented. We endeavour to place Carnduff and area in a favourable position to take full advantage of existing and future opportunities. A well orchestrated BR&E project is one of the most effective tools in increasing community capacity and fostering sound economic development initiatives.
