The City and County of Grande Prairie, along with the MD of Greenview have announced a new initiative to showcase investment opportunities in Northwest Alberta.
The initiative- “Invest NW Alberta,” will operate under the belief that major investments in one municipality can have positive effects across the other two. Officials call the project a joint marketing and promotional effort that will pool resources and share costs for promotions such as advertising, events, and trade shows.
Grande Prairie Mayor Jackie Clayton suggests that activities like trade shows become more impactful when they are completed collaboratively.
“Together with the County of Grande Prairie and the MD of Greenview, we are proud to showcase an area rich in resources, where people can live, work, and play,” she says.
According to project leaders, Alberta’s Northwest is rich with natural resources and thriving communities, so the region offers “immense” potential for businesses and investors alike.
Officials maintain that the initiative will provide direct support to investors to ensure they are taken care of so they can make investment decisions confidently. Additionally, the process has been streamlined for potential investors through a single point of contact in an effort to create a more accessible and attractive decision-making process.
Interested entities can visit the Invest NW Alberta website for more information about opportunities in the Peace Region.
