Notas do Editor

  1. This slide is from the Site Selectors retained perspective.
  2. Talking points: Scores ranged between199 and 273. The Southwest and Golden Horseshoe Regions seemed to score the highest in this exercise. Northwest Region presented many challenges.
  3. Talking points: What we were looking for: Up to date and forward looking Regional approach to coordinating marketing and attraction efforts Provide professional assistance – present themselves professionally and are honest, punctual, and thorough in all dealings Data Rich – lots of available and up-to-date data! Know themselves – communities that keep themselves up to date (maps, etc), recognize their strengths and weaknesses Involve real estate community – brokers, property owners, developers are part of the ‘team’ Educated stakeholders – involve board members, politicians, government officials, business community as part of the ‘team” Support local business – take visitors to local restaurants as opposed to national chains
  4. Communities visited and those who responded to the RFP exercise, frequently could not demonstrate a supply of serviced “ready to go” or “shovel ready” industrial sites and buildings; • Frequently, communities lacked an up-to-date economic development strategy that identified strengths and appropriate industry targets for investment attraction/retention; • The information in many community profiles was not of quantity or quality to sufficiently inform site selection decisions; • Most economic development web sites provided limited information and a limited level of functionality. • Weak linkages were observed between economic development and labour force development activities. Local training and adjustment boards were not consistently linked into economic development efforts. Technical training resources and course offerings at local post secondary educational institutions were not aligned with the requirements of local employers. • Site selectors felt that development fees and land costs are potentially prohibitive to many new investments, especially for projects that are considering both U.S. and Canadian communities – this is now being further exacerbated by the high value of the Canadian dollar vis a vis the U.S. dollar. • Local elected representatives and senior administrators were not always aware of the benefits of community preparedness for investment, and what it involves in terms of time, effort and expense; • In comparison to U.S. and European jurisdictions, inter-municipal cooperation on a regional basis is underdeveloped and underutilized There is substantial room for improvement in terms of: local/regional collaborative and cooperative economic development actions; greater connectivity and cooperation between lower tier, upper tier, and Provincial levels of government with regard to economic development

  6. Great demand for more community visits and evaluations by site selectors – evident at Regional Seminars Municipal councils need to understand what economic development is and how to create an investment friendly climate Spread the message about economic development and the LETI initiative.
  7. It is important to communicate to communities that they should participate in this program for consistency purposes.
