Abstract

The task of communicating to attract business and economic development is a challenging one these days. Experience has shown that it is far easier and less costly to retain an existing business then potentially locate a new business. Communities across the Province have implemented a Business Retention and Attraction (BR&E) process with funding potentially available from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) through its Rural Economic Development “RED” Program.
